Paperback. Condizione: Good. NIGHT SONGS: Life in the Midst of Death is a compelling reflection of life, death, and spirituality. Throughout her book, author Phyllis Mayo tells the death stories of 38 people. Each is unique and shares an up-lifting thought, even in the midst of death. The stories begin with the death of the author's friend before they started first grade. The stories continue up until the month before the author's retirement. Some stories are profoundly sad, while others are humorous. Music lyrics are incorporated, describing the challenges, joys, and celebrations of life on earth and life eternal. The reflections in this book came as stories or songs in the night to Mayo. As she became familiar with The Book of Common Prayer, she was always struck by the words, In life we are in the midst of death. Those words, while true, seemed not to tell the whole story. She believes they should be amended to include, yet in death we are in the midst of life. This belief is born out in the stories, or songs, she tells here. As she has witnessed hundreds of deaths, there seem always to be indicators that life is still real, even for those who have died. Even though there is no proof of this, the author's experiences of witnessing dying, and death have brought her to believe, together with some Scriptural indications, that life continues in a way we cannot yet know. Thus, her night songs are really the story of life in the midst of death.…
