Marion Goldstein, Books, Biography and Memoir, Embracing the Sign: A Journey of Faith, Science, and Experience, This memoir braids together stories about ordinary people whohad extraordinary experiences following the death of a loved one.Each recounts a confluence of events or series of coincidencesthat seemed to come from out of the blue. What makes thesestories important is the profound effect of each experience. Eachperson felt an overwhelming sense that death is not the end, thatthe deceased continue to exist in some form, apart from and beyondthe death of the body.Every-day objects-a letter, a belt, a book, a song-becomevehicles through which reassuring messages are communicated,becoming signs representing the shared history between the livingand the dead, a history known only to them.Living through and accumulating these stories led the authorto a sense of awe and wonder that coexisted with skepticism, initiatingresearch into such matters and drew her to scientists anda new breed of theologians who find science compatible withspirituality. Science and theology are both concerned with howlife begins. Both ask: What happens to human consciousnesswhen we die? This memoir follows the author's spiritual journeyfrom blind faith, to skepticism, to the ultimate discovery that afragile faith can be found, and found again, in the questions.
