Product Description

This book will help you face your own death with courage and faith. Some simple things can help ease your mind and bring peace to your heart. Much of the book is written in the first-person singular to help you personalise your reflections. There are many prompts for you to write in a notebook or journal your reflections and memories of significant people, places and events in your life, and ideas for your funeral. Dip into the book where and when you want, pondering only one or two paragraphs at a time. It includes readings and meditations from a wide range of perspectives and faith traditions.Praise for The Art of Dying Well: "To those who reflectively read these pages as they knowingly approach the completion of their lives, and their death, Ian Kilgour has offered a map and a compass.There is realism, compassion and inclusiveness in what he offers in this text-The Art of Dying Well.

Although now retired, he remains actively involved in church, chaplaincy, community and social justice work. After a serious health event that caused him to face his own mortality, he gathered together the reflections that comprise this book-a work in which he was encouraged and assisted by the people of his home congregation, St. Heliers Presbyterian Church in Auckland.Ian believes that everyone has the capacity to find meaning in life, to deepen their spirituality, and to become all they can be. He has an inclusive understanding of life in which everything and everyone is interconnected and of immense value. Ian dedicates this publication to those whom he has had the privilege of laying to re
