Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, But Nobody Wants to Die
or (the eschatology of bluegrass)
By David Crowder with Mike Hogan
The conflict between the here and now and the ever after is a familiar one. Death and life are forever intertwined, as a life lived to the fullest includes pain and grief. Even more, it requires dying to self, which frees one to experience a greater joy: community. Thus explains bestselling recording artist David Crowder as he explores the complex relationship between life, death, grief and community. Drawing from personal experience, Christian theology, the science of pain and the “high, lonesome sound” of bluegrass music, Crowder applies his often hilarious voice to an inspiring message—death is not the ultimate calamity ... it is just the beginning.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
David Crowder is the pastor of music and arts at University Baptist Church (UBC) in Waco, Texas, where he lives with his wife, Toni. They still have no pets, although he does like some animals; especially that one dog that passes in front of his house on Tuesdays. He is also a part of the fabulous rock-and-roll extravaganza known as David Crowder*Band (sixstepsrecords/EMI CMG). This is his second book. (He is writing this spiel in third person because he is now experienced and understands the importance of spiels such as this one appearing in the third person.)
Mike Hogan plays in the band with the bestselling recording artist mentioned above. Though this is his first venture into the world of books, he has done a good bit of writing for RELEVANT magazine. When not on tour, Mike enjoys spending time at home with his wife, Robin, and two of the most destructive and malevolent cats the planet has ever seen.
