I’ve read On The Beach several times and it’s a great read. Very few books end like this one.
John 11: [21] Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. [22] But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. [23] Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. [24] Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. [25] Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: [26] And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
I like the book better than the movie.
I read On The Beach when I need a real downer.
A good book and movie, I discovered it and Alas Babylon around fifth grade in our school library. Just the thing to read in 1967 while living in centra Florida. Still not as good as finding Barbarella as an English language bound illustrated book in the public library, and they let a 12 yr old check it out, because it was a comic book. Ruined for life.
