Lessons from the Shadows of Death
http://shadows-book.blogspot.com/
My dad served many years as a hospice chaplain. He had a real heart for ministering to people who were living in the shadows of death.
He decided to write down the lessons he had learned form the different patients he had worked with over the years. He published a book titled, Lessons from the Shadows of Death. Just like his first book, Blind Faith, this book was never sold to the public, although he did have a web-site for a while where he tried.
