The After-Death Room: Journey Into Spiritual Activism

Author: Michael McColly

Author Details: Before I had gotten into my grad program at Northwestern, I had tried to get into one of Michael's undergrad classes. Even though I didn't have the prerequisites for the class, I had already visited his website and knew I needed to work with him, mostly because of this statement of one of his goals for his work:
"To highlight the many effective programs I have witnessed around the world and the creative and courageous people behind them who are defying the popular image of the AIDS pandemic by showing that it need not be a devastating plague but rather an empowering agency of change for individuals and communities."

Book Details: The After-Death Room also won the 2007 Lamba Literary Award for Spiritual Writing.

Genre: Nonfiction, Memoir, Travel
