I feel evangelical about this book - which is almost fitting given the vocation of the principal character. It is a quiet read. A book ostensibly about death - but, actually, about living and life filtered through the eyes of a dying father. It gently feels its way into your heart. And - for me at least - was properly educational, opening my eyes to some profound truths. <BR/><BR/>I've enjoyed stumbling upon your blog.

I would certainly recommend it.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.com
