Going, Going, Gone: A Journey into the Hereafter - Softcover

John Janne has a good life—a thriving law practice, a wonderful family. But when Janne is diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and given six months to live, everything changes. Stunned, John wonders about his course of action, particularly about how to tell his family—they'd been after him for years to quit smoking. Rather than putting his family through the agony of watching him die a painful death, he will take his own life.But suicide presents problems—how to do it so that his family doesn't wonder what went wrong in his life and blame themselves for his death. No, it will need to seem an accident. He decides on a canoe trip in northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters where he will drown his diseased lungs.Lanz's Going, Going, Gone is more than a novel about a man's plan to end his life. It is a philosophical walk through discoveries about death—and afterlife. The book would be of interest to atheist, agnostics, and Christians struggling with their faith.
