Remember to Live!: Embracing the Second Half of Life. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Remember to Live!: Embracing the Second Half of Life

This book is a book about the importance of living your life now, about “remembering to live” by keeping your priorities clearly before you and using your time, energy, and material resources accordingly. None of us can escape the sober reminders of our finitude: aging, illness, the losses of life, and our own deaths and those of our loved ones. The question is, how do we deal with those reminders? With fear and trepidation? Or with a desire to learn the lessons they have to teach and to thus grow through our encounter with them? Engaging with these themes is an invitation to fuller and deeper living. Remember to Live! has been shaped by the reflections, testimony, and experience of participants that the author has led over the past fifteen years. It is grounded in the reality of people’s lives across a broad spectrum. It is also designed as a resource that people can and hopefully will go back to time and again as one or the other of these realities touches them personally. At the end of each chapter are reflection questions, exercises, poems, and prayers to help readers do their inner work. †
