As an atheist... I tried to put into perspective my fathers death and what it meant to me and to him almost 10 years ago. as he was dying, we would have long discussions on what death meant, and often would read the Bhagavad Gita together, the different passages.

This one always stayed with me - and I read this at his service, along with other passages from non-Judea-Christian religions.

For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time.
He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being.
He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval He is not slain when the body is slain.

Bhagavad-gita 2.20

Law in Social Work Practice (The Nelson-Hall Series in Social Welfare)
By
Andrea Saltzman
David M. Furman

I do not recommend this book. I find it to be so incredibly outdated it is almost obsolete. (Yes, I am bitter that I am reading this when I could be reading something fun regarding the Unification of Silla or how to make my own tin ties)

~CF

P.S. to Saltzman + Furman on the off chance you are on this site and reading this: I am sure this text was cutting edge a few years ago, but in 2010, we actually ARE able to research court cases online. No major offense intended. ~CF

I'm reading a really great book about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert called "We Two: Victoria and Albert: Rulers, Partners, Rivals " by Gillian Gill.

I'm a huge history buff and have always been curious about the Queen and Empress whose name was given to an era in Great Britain. I've found this book to be an interesting and excellent read and I can hardly put it (the Kindle version) down!!
