review 1: As a Unitarian Universalist, I found this to be a moving account of one who faces the end of life. I loved this quotation:"We see little of the road ahead or the sky above. And the dust we raise clouds our eyes, leaving only brief interludes to contemplate the stars. All we can do, every now and again, is to stop for a moment and look.Look. Morning has broken and we are here, you and I, breathing the air, admiring the slant sun as it refracts through these magnificent, pellucid windows and dances in motes of dust above the pews, calling us to attention, calling us homeward."
review 2: This was written by my minister, who took his congregation by the hand and led them through his last couple of years (which were only supposed to be a few months) as he died f... morerom cancer. He died a few weeks ago, in September, 2009. It was an inspiring journey for all of us, and some of it is recounted in this book. It is put together a bit haphazardly, but has many insights, a good deal of humor (though he was always much funnier in his sermons than in his books. the humor doesn't always come through), and is a good guide to anyone contemplating death for whatever reason. less
