Let God Be God

Résumé du livre

Where are you going after you die? As a friend of mine often reminds people, We are not here to stay; we are here to go. I am writing these words in a consultants waiting room in a London hospital. Some of the other patients are showing signs of great physical distress, moving reminders that the whole world is a hospital in which everyone is a terminal patient. The South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard performed the world's first human heart transplant operation in 1967 and the first double-heart transplant in 1974. Later in life he said, At 79, people ask me, Where do you go from here? I say to them, Im on the waiting list. I don't exactly know where I am on that, or where Im going. But Im on it. So are you! Even as you read these words you are fighting a losing battle with death, whatever your age or present state of health. What will happen to you when death wins?
