On Amazon.com one of the reviewers posted a quote from the book.
"I had lived my life until the age of 25 or 26 believing that I was never going to die, or that if I did die in a car crash or something, God would resurrect me and I'd live forever in the New World. I can remember the exact moment when I realized I wan not going to live forever. The physical moment: I was working in my office at Bethel and I got up from my desk to go into the file cabinet; I was bending down to get a file, and - it came out of nowhere - I said, Hey, you're going to die one day. And in that one second the knot unraveled."
I had that same experience when I was 35 years old. It hit me all of a sudden, just like Gary, that I wasn't going to live forever... I went downhill ever since...
