by William Stephenson (Author)
Synopsis: Nine-year-old James, said to his mother: "Dr. Bill doesn't have all the answers, but I believe he knows all the right questions."
What is it about this stage in life, whether you are nine or ninety, that calls us to seek instruction?
The real issue is not the event called Death, but the ongoing journey prior to death that we call dying. Everyone has their own unique journey with dying. It is in that final stage in a person's life that Dr. Stephenson has had the privilege of knowing and giving counsel to his clients.
This book is an account of the many clients who received the counsel of Dr. Stephenson and found and embraced a new way to hope. A hope that would empower his clients to embrace the mystery of living meaningfully and purposefully until they died. And one story of a client who could not.
Autobiography: In retirement, Dr. Stephenson has written five other books related to his commitment to the care and support of the terminally ill. They are: (1) A Gift To Self: Poems and Stories of Recovery, Forgiveness, Healing and Reconciliation; (2) Conversations: Stories and Poems That Speak to Our Soul; (3) Sunrises and Sunsets: A Daily Journey of Renewal, Redemption, and Rejoicing; (4) Teachable Moments: Lessons to Enrich Our Mental Health, Our Spiritual Journey and Our Relationships; and, most recently, (5) The Mountain In You: Stories and Poetry That Inspire Hope and Purpose for Living.
