Foreword by Madeleine L Engle One evening while my chil- dren were doing homework, I was sitting at my desk writing, when one of our neighbors, a young man in high school, came in demanding, \"Madeleine, are you afraid of death?\" Barely turning, I answered, \"Yes, Bob, of course.\" He plunked himself down on a chair. \"Thank God. No- body else will dare to admit it.\" Death is change, and change is always fearful as well as ehaUenging, but until we can admit the fear, we cannot accept the challenge. Until we can admit the fear, we cannot know the assurance, deep down in our hearts, that indeed, we are not afraid. Be Not/lfi aid is a wonderful book about the kind of fearlessness of death that comes despite the normal fears
