In late 2019 the Corona virus emerged and spread quickly around the world. With it went the invisible virus of fear. No one knew how many of those who caught it would die, but the fear of death was in the air. Most of the world was locked down. No public figure asked or tried to answer the questions, at one time so deeply felt: 'Is death the end?' 'Is there an afterlife?' Perhaps they assumed the answers 'Yes' and 'No' respectively but, the author argues, those answers are not to be taken for granted. Unasked questions cause untold psychological trouble.
The author tackles these questions in a direct, open way of interest to believers and non-believers alike. In fact he asks 'If you do not believe, do you wish there were an afterlife?'
He acknowledges that he feels great sympathy with and respect for those who do not believe in the life of the world to come, and admits that he was once one such. In the book he explains frankly what he now believes and why.
He argues that it is the most important question that any of us faces: Are we or are we not created by God to live forever, first in this world and then in His nearer presence in the life of the world to come?

It is not a comfortable question to face, but which answer is true?

John Symon's first two books, Stranger on the Shore and This Life of Grace, were inspired by his experience of living with Huntington's Disease from which his Father died after suffering from it for twenty-five years. In 2019 John brought out a new book that combines the stories of his parents, Love is His Meaning: Two lives, one marriage. John's fourth book, The Devil's Dance, an adventure story, deals with eternal themes of friendship and enmity, faithfulness and betrayal, cruelty and kindness, bullying and self-sacrifice, and living in a one-parent family. It appeals to adults and teenagers alike. John grew up in a loving, unassuming family in Devon, who gave him a wonderful education there and at Oxford. He is a historian and worked as an executive and life coach with people usually in top, isolated jobs, in all manner of businesses and predicaments.
