What's on the Other Side?

The Prophet Joseph Smith observed that death and the spirit world are subjects "we ought to study more than any other....If we have claim on our Heavenly Father for anything, it is for knowledge on this important subject." Brent Top, a professor of Church History and Doctrine at BYU, highlights the wealth of information the scriptures and latter-day prophets and apostles have provided to us about death and the spirit world—its location and conditions, the nature of departed spirits, and the work performed for and by those there. Removing much of the mystery and fear associated with dying, this book demonstrates that knowing what life will be like after death can help inspire us to live better lives here and now.
