Basic Books, 2002..Hardcover. ISBN: 0465049303. Several years ago, a ruptured tumour almost killed Richard John Neuhaus. During a series of complicated operations, weeks in critical condition, and months in slow recovery, he was brought face to face with his own mortality. As he lay dying and, as it turned out, recovering, he found that despite his faith he had been quite unprepared for the experience. This book traces his efforts to understand his own reactions and those of his family and friends, and explores how we as a culture understand and deal with death. "As I Lay Dying" testifies that dying is - and is not - part of living. We can and should live our dying. Neuhaus interweaves his own story with thoughtful inquiry, circling through philosophy, psychology, literature, theology, and his own experiences to create provocative meditations that explore the many aspects of the soul from the body, grief, surrender, and mourning. Inscribed by Author ("for Martha in Christ"). 1st/1st - CLEAN!! No marks. Lightly read if at all. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ.
