Description

This volume explores the possibility that mortality is framed and informed by God's love in more ways than we normally suppose. We live within the cosmic embrace of God's love, even when we encounter difficulties. Hence, as the medieval Catholic thinker Catherine of Siena suggested, "All the way to heaven is heaven," because gospel obedience brings joy and, in a perfectly natural way, fits us for the celestial kingdom. In the process we are stretched out along the long arc of God's love. Our hearts turn to others, and not just to those around us but also to our ancestors and generations yet unborn. As we discover the depths of Christ's Atonement, our everyday thinking and conduct begin to hum the miracles of God's love, chief of which is that there is no bottom to that love.





David Alan Grandy grew up in Montpelier, Idaho. From 1968 to 1970 he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Central States Mission. Upon graduation from Brigham Young University, he taught English in Japan and then joined the US Army, where he was trained as a Russian linguist. After ten years of active duty, he earned a PhD in the history and philosophy of science from Indiana University. He taught for eight years in the history department of BYU–Hawaii and then for seventeen years in the philosophy department of BYU. After his retirement in 2016, David and his wife, Janet, served an eighteen-month Latter-day Saint mission in Germany. They are the parents of six children and seventeen grandchildren.
