Explores nine key virtues needed to die (and live) well. When death
begins to strip away nearly everything that belongs to us, we
discover that we need the virtues more than ever. We especially
need to cultivate those virtues that can carry us through to the
full and final fruition of our earthly journey. In this book
Matthew Levering investigates nine such virtues-love, hope, faith,
penitence, gratitude, solidarity, humility, surrender, and
courage-that dying persons need in order to prepare themselves for
the end of life. Retrieving and engaging scriptural, theological,
and contemporary resources ranging from the book of Job to
present-day medical science, Levering journeys through the various
stages and challenges of the dying process, beginning with the fear
of annihilation and continuing through repentance and gratitude,
suffering and hope, before arriving finally at the courage needed
to say goodbye to one's familiar world.
