Lessons for the Living from the Dying

The editors of 101 Most Powerful Proverbs in the Bible share the wisdom gleaned from final conversations.   Sometimes, the greatest gifts we give are the ones we give at the end. This inspiring, gripping book is packed with end-of-life gifts—words of wisdom and lessons learned from people in their final days. In each chapter, we hear from a hospice worker who has spent hundreds of hours with the dying, listening to their stories, assisting their loved ones, and absorbing the hard, hopeful, and helpful truths about life that become most clear when death is near. In Lessons for the Living from the Dying, these workers pass those truths to us and invite us to live richer, better lives by drawing on the wisdom of those who have journeyed on.   Praise for the 101 Most Powerful Series   “There is beauty in this series: the beauty of poignant, moving, true stories that illustrate the word of God; and the beauty of superb writing by gifted authors who know how to bring together the word of God and real-life applications that make it come alive.”—David M.
