Are there lessons to be learned from life’s final journey? As people approach their final days of life, can they and their families find peace and hope? Life Lessons from the Dying provides proof they can. Author Ronald C. Daniel, who had the privilege of ministering to hundreds of terminally ill patients, their families, and their friends as a hospice chaplain, shares a collection of impactful stories from the people he served at the end of their life. Some of their stories evoke laughter, and others, tears. Some will be uplifting, while others may result in deep contemplation. All of them offer a new perspective on approaching death, and each one teaches a different lesson about the end of life, providing proof there can be peace and comfort.
