““This little book of thoughts on the mystery of death is a treasury of wisdom on the great perennial questions: What is the good life? How do I live it?” ―Mary Ann Glendon, Professor of Law, Harvard University
“Intelligent and wise people have thought and written a great deal about death, and some of the best of what they’ve said has been collected by Father Neuhaus in this volume. The book is worth its price for the pieces by Flannery O’Connor, John Donne, and Peter De Vries alone; but there’s great wisdom, too, in Neuhaus’s own discussion of death, the kind of wisdom that comes only from a close approach to death. If you’re someone who’s preparing for death―and you are, like it or not―an attentive and repeated reading of what’s in this book will help you to prepare well.” ―Paul J. Griffiths, Professor of the Philosophy of Religions, University of Chicago
“Those who know Richard John Neuhaus as one of America’s leading public intellectuals can now see the more essential Neuhaus in this book: the priest consecrated to the care of souls. Here Neuhaus has wisely selected from the wisdom of others on how we are to face death, and he has provided great insight from his own experience in facing death, which has made him a wiser man and a better priest.” ―Rabbi David Novak, J. Richard and Dorothy Shiff Chair of Jewish Studies, University of Toronto
