    About this ebook

    How can I overcome the fear of death?

    How can I stop being afraid of dying?

    What happens when I die?

    Where do I go when I die?

    Can we know what will happen to us when we die? In Why Fear Death?, author Curtis Coleman answers yes! Leveraging his college and seminary training in the original biblical languages and his experience building a successful international biotechnology company, Coleman masterfully weaves the Bible, modern science, and popular culture into a tour de force that demystifies death and argues that the fear of dying can be defeated by knowing what many have argued is unknowable. For most people, the thing they most treasure is staying alive on earth. As a result, they live their entire lives in bondage to fear of physical death.

    Coleman argues compellingly that we can confidently know what happens when we die, and we can know where we will go when we die. We can choose to have the information that can eliminate the fear of death.

    Curtis W. Coleman

    Curtis Coleman was a pastor/teacher and Bible conference speaker for 25 years, over half of which he spoke more than 300 times per year in more than three dozen states and two dozen countries. In 1994 his ministry moved to the worlds of business and public policy. He was the Founding CEO of a successful international food safety company, now doing business in more than a dozen countries on four continents, and a frequent lecturer for the University of Arkansas’ Sam Walton School of Business. He speaks in public and private venues on how Biblical principles impact one’s personal life, business and public policy.
