Mortality and Faith is the second half of an autobiography of David Horowitz whose first installment, Radical Son, was published more than twenty years ago. It completes the account of his life from where the first book left off to his seventy-eighth year.

In contrast to Radical Son whose focus was his political odyssey, Mortality and Faith was conceived as a meditation on age, and on our common progress towards an end which is both final and opaque. These primal facts affect all we see and do, and force us to answer the questions as to why we are here and where we are going with conjectures that can only be taken on faith.

This was a great read. Horowitz’s life is a primer on socialism, what it is, why it exists and why it’s an evil that should be avoided! The down side to this book is David’s spiritual journey, he walks right up to Free Grace and forgiveness in Christ with the help of Pascal,the Old Testament and even his wife but the shrugs and turns away! He sees it but can’t come to embrace it. That said, this was still a great read, as the narrator for the audiobook, I absolutely enjoyed reading it!!!

Not my favorite David Horowitz book. It was a bit depressing reading about facing his own mortality and pending death even though death is not imminent. I held out to the end that somehow he had come to a faith in Jesus Christ, but sadly he remains agnostic
