“These clear-sighted meditations avoid clichés and go right to heart of what all of us need to hear.”
Damaris Zehner, author of The Between Time: Savoring the Sacred Moments of Everyday Life
“Whatever paths your life has taken, you have now turned a corner and find yourself near where God has prepared a place for you. Soon you will open the gate, amble up the walk, open the door, and find yourself at home.”
So begin these seven calm and comforting meditations, meant to be read by—or to—those who are drawing near to death. This brief but powerful booklet offers a sense of peace and acceptance, and raises gentle questions to help resolve unfinished business.
