"Why Forest Died" explains the nature of death. It begins in 1974 with the sad death of a friend. Both Stephanie and I were 23 and we stood by Forest's hospital bed with him and his wife as he died. We were so young. Forest was so young. Yet, death came and our lives were never the same. What is death? Why is it so permanent? And, more important of all: Why do we all face this inevitable conclusion to life? These questions are clearly answered in the Bible. Unfortunately, most ignore what the Bible says and are educated by what people "think," or "wish," or "say" death is.
