As a medical social worker for thirty-five years, author Dan Costello has worked in hospitals, for hospice, and in other medical settings. It was here he witnessed rsthand how God has reached down from heaven and lifted up the lost sheep.

In They Died in Peace and Joy, he offers patient stories, real accounts of people in the last stages of their life, demonstrating the tremendous love and mercy of God. The accounts show the lengths that God, out of his love for us, goes to save us from our sins. His mercy is always there for us through the last moments of our lives. Even at the end of our lives, God seeks us out to save us.

These inspirational stories show where God intervened in these patients' lives so they could die in peace and joy. All of us face death, and Costello believes God desires that all of us should die a peaceful death.
