This book was written by a physician and an ethicist/pastor. It is designed to help the lay person understand and work through the dying process. By helping the reader to create a well designed end-of-life plan, the book serves as a valuable resource and has already helped many people to reduce fear, pain, and chaos often present during the dying process. It is also well-suited for healthy people who are thinking ahead about end-of-life documentation and planning.
