    About this ebook

    ...Berkeley Noone, afflicted with the incurable Hutchinson's disease, has accepted the fact that he must die. Half eagerly, half anxiously he waits for death, only to experience no death; instead, come to a translation into a higher, fuller kind of life, in which new values dawn, and into wich there appears a new radiant vision of God...Abraham's Bosom is a beautiful and comforting little philosophy of faith and may be more convincing to many readers than some abstract treatises on the subject.
