As I Lay Dying: Meditations Upon Returning | Richard John Neuhaus
Combining his own near-death experience that caused him to confront his mortality with insight culled from philosophy, psychology, literature, and theology, a penetrating meditation delves into the many facets of death and dying, from the private and public experience to the separation of the soul from the body, grief, surrender, and mourning.
