Three of Joseph Bayly's seven children died at young ages. He was intimately acquainted with the pain of death and was all too familiar with what he once called this enemy's "grim violence." But he was even more intimately acquainted with the One who conquered that enemy forever. The View from a Hearse is Joe's simple, helpful meditation on death and grieving.

One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
--John Donne

[Foreword] Sometimes ghosts are silent, preferring to hide themselves.
[Editor's Preface] This edition of Joe Bayly's View from a Hearse is, in some ways, closer to the first edition of 1969 than the expanded version of 1973.
[Prologue] The hearse began its grievous journey many thousand years ago, as a litter made of saplings.
Each spring the road that goes north from our home in Illinois has a succession of animals that have been struck by automobiles.
