Each of us is in the middle of a story. In this astoundingly unique
book, bestselling author N.D. Wilson reminds us that to truly live
we must recognize that we are dying. Cause of death: life. Death by
Living is a poetic exploration of faith, futility, and the
incredible joy of this mortal life. N.D. Wilson recounts stories
from his life in poetic prose, giving perspective on the life we're
given by God. Death by Living explores the topics of family,
grappling with the death of loved ones, and how to live with
intention to get the most out of our time on Earth. Wilson
encourages us to live hard and die grateful, and to see Christ in
every pair of eyes. To write a past we won't regret. All of us must
pause and breathe. See the past, see life as the fruit of
providence and thousands of personal narratives. We did not choose
where to set our feet in time, but we choose where to set them
next. We stand in the now. God says create. Live. Choose. Shape the
past. Etch your life in stone, and what you make will be forever.
In Death by Living, you will: Experience life with renewed wonder
Recognize mundane moments as opportunities Learn to live hard and
die grateful Recognize death as a gift instead of something to be
feared At once inspiring, humorous, and unbelievably moving, this a
book that you will read again and again, finding fresh perspective
each time you open it.

"A must-read series." --"The Washington Post"
When Henry York found 99 cupboards hidden behind his bedroom wall,
he never dreamed they were doors to entirely new worlds. Exploring
them with his cousin Henrietta was all the action and adventure an
overprotected boy could imagine. But Henry's discovery also
released the undying witch Nimiane, whose hunger for power could
destroy every world connected to the cupboards--and every person
whom Henry loves. Now Henry must seek out the legendary Chestnut
King to answer the unanswerable: How do you kill someone who cannot
die?
With "The Chestnut King, " N. D. Wilson concludes a remarkable,
worlds-spanning trilogy that began with one boy and 100 avenues to
adventure.
Henry York never dreamed his time in Kansas would open a door to
adventure--much less a hundred doors. But a visit to his aunt and
uncle's farm took an amazing turn when cupboard doors, hidden
behind Henry's bedroom wall, revealed themselves to be portals to
other worlds. Now, with his time at the farm drawing to a close,
Henry makes a bold decision--he must go through the cupboards to
find the truth about where he's from and who his parents are.
Following that trail will take him from one world to another, and
ultimately into direct conflict with the evil of Endor.
N. D. Wilson and his wife live in Idaho. Also visit
