“…a very comforting book. …Nouwen offers us here a gentle, almost meditative book on coming to terms with death.” — Publishers Weekly
“It’s a new way of looking at death, one with an upside.” — Miami Herald
“One of my favorite ‘caregivers,’ Henri Nouwen challenges us to accept our death as part of our spiritual journey, not its end. …Nouwen continues to be a must read.” — Capital Times
“On the long road it’s good to have Nouwen and his diving rod. Deftly he bends toward the drop of spiritual wisdom caked in the most ordinary things.” — Sister Helen Prejean, C.S.J., author of Dead Man Walking
