Book Description

I am a special witness of Jesus Christ.
Jesus called me to be one of his apostles when he began his ministry, and for three years I walked and talked with him. I also defended him before the people of Jerusalem, and mourned with him when those people rejected his message. Yet I never truly understood Jesus and his mission until those final, painful days of his life. During that week I watched my dearest friend transform from being not only a powerful teacher and healer, but to become the Savior of the World.

John the Beloved's role in sharing the final days of the Savior's life has been overlooked. He stayed close to the Savior during those crucial final hours, becoming an eyewitness to the supreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This account is based on John's own words as found in the Bible.

Based on John's own words as found in the Bible, the touching storyline combines with the striking artwork to create a wonderful, spiritual reading experience that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. You will feel a new love and appreciation for the apostle John—and for the Savior Jesus Christ.

Book Description

The author of the acclaimed Emma Trilogy switches gears in this non-fiction account of his years working as a cemetery sexton.

In this entertaining book readers will meet such characters as a lock-picking ghost, a coffin-chasing cow, a rock band with boorish graveside manners, and Mrs. Robinson, whose leg preceded her to the grave.

Each chapter gives a behind-the-scenes look at different aspects of a sexton's world, including cemetery blunders, meddling spirits, bizarre events, and efforts to outfox the Grim Reaper.

Written in a humorous, tongue-in-cheek style, this collection of the author's actual graveyard adventures is a curiously uplifting book you won't be able to put down-or ever forget!

B O R I N G...

I wish I had listened to the reviewer who said NOT for anyone over age 12... I wholeheartedly agree. I have 2 kids who wouldn't enjoy this either. Wish I had my money back. I feel ripped off.

An Excellent Read.......2006-06-01

A well-written feast of a book. I goggled it down in one afternoon. I couldn't put it down. I just had to see what would happen next. This book is a must read for everyone. It will make you see death and cemeteries in a whole different light.

Funny Book.......2004-08-06

This book is great! It is just what it says it is- a humorous look at what goes on behind the scenes in a cemetery. I have read it several times, and I laugh out loud every time. I worked in a cemetery for several years, and this book brings back memories of the funny things that happen that people just don't hear about.

Waste of Time for those over 12.......2004-06-26

I actually had to stop reading this book 2 paragraphs in to see what company would actually have published this. I would not be so harsh in my review of this book, had it been billed as Juvenile non-fiction. Poorly written, hardly edited, and what little factual information Mr. Daybell provides is unresearched and obviously wrong to anyone with any knowledge of the funeral industry. This book is not worth the money, effort of borrowing it from the library, or any of your time.

One Foot In The Grave.......2003-09-13

If you enjoy looking around cemeteries, wondering what takes place behind the scenes, then you will enjoy this book. Chad Daybell writes an excellent book, with a humorous side of the cemetery caretaking business. I found myself laughing several times over incedents that took place, unbelievable requests made by the deceaseds relatives, the "war of the roses" cemetery style, and what a cemetery Sexton actually has to go through and put up with. There is a seriouse side to this book too, what to do and what not to do when visiting a cemetery, appropriate and inappropriate behavoir, and a cemetery is NOT a motocross track nor a sports field. I think it was an excellent read and I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cemeteries.

Book Description

The first time I read Chad Daybell's Errand for Emma, I thought someday I could look back and be able to say I knew Chad before his books become famous. Chad is one of those LDS writers whose books will be familiar to everyone one of these days. He just keeps getting better. In this new volume, Escape to Zion, the third volume in the Emma trilogy, Emma Dalton ventures into the future. We see Temple Square surrounded by an electric fence as chariots race through abandoned Salt Lake City streets. One of the Three Nephites lends a helping hand, and we get a glimpse of the big meeting at Adam-Ondi-Ahman at the ushering in of the new Millenium. Wow! This is fun reading. - Lee Nelson, Author of 28 books

Hard to put down.......2004-03-06

The third of the trilogy, Chad Daybell ends his series on a high note. This was the most captivating of the three books with many unexpected twists and turns. The fictional account weaves LDS theology with interesting (and sometimes harrowing) depictions of future events. It will leave you wanting to know more about the future as seen by latter-day prophets. A great read for adolescents or for someone who wants to understand the LDS perspective on the Rapture.

“Mom, I just remembered I have to give a talk in Primary today,” is a terrifying sentence in most LDS homes. But the solution has arrived!
