Abstract

" Nearing his final days, a beloved Unitarian minister meditates on life, love, and death: 'The goal is to live in such a way that our lives will prove worth dying for.' Love & Death is imbued with ideas and exemplars for achieving that goal, and the stories he offers--all drawn from his own experiences and from the lives of his friends, family, and parishioners--are both engrossing and enlightening." - Provided by publisher
