The Last Frontier by Julia Assante, PhD
Julia Assante, PhD has written a book about transforming our fear of death titled The Last Frontier. It should have been titled Everything You Would Want to Know about Death and the Afterlife.Dr. Assante provides an interesting perspective to her work. She has a PhD from Columbia University and has studied the death traditions of the ancient world as well as being an internationally known medium. I found the book interesting and intriguing. I particularly enjoyed the section on the ancient death traditions. The information in the book is all about stripping away the fear surrounding death: a goal both she and I share. I have seen the change in people when they find out about deathbed visions or near death experiences. It can be an amazing transformation for someone who is experiencing utter despair and hopelessness to having a sense of relief, peace and hopefulness about their death or a loved ones.
