Atlanta (20 September, 2010) –Best-selling Atlanta theologian and author CHRISGLASER returns to Outwrite TUESDAY,OCTOBER 26, 2010, at 7:30 p.m.,reading from and signing copies of his thirteenth book THE FINAL DEADLINE: WHAT DEATH HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE (MorehousePublishing). This event is free and open to the public.

CHRIS GLASER views death less as something to fear than as aninscrutable and occasionally stern spiritual guide, a Zen master ready to teachus, a spiritual director eager to inspire us, and a soul-friend reminding usthat our lifespan has sacred worth.

In contrast to religious traditionsthat attempt to shield us from death by promising eternal life or by denying ordemeaning physical existence, Glaser looks at death directly and withappreciation for what it teaches us about life. He writes movingly of thedeaths that have shaped his soul, whether those deaths occurred through assassination,murder, suicide, accident, divorce, illness, or AIDS.

A few deaths were especiallytransforming and personal, and all will open readers’ hearts to their owndiscoveries when facing THE FINALDEADLINE.

Glaser, agraduate of Yale Divinity School, has published a dozen best-selling books onspirituality, sexuality, vocation, contemplation, sacrament, theology,marriage, and now, death. A respected theologian and popular retreat leader, hewas named a Grand Marshal of Atlanta’s 2009 Pride Parade.
