Thoughts on Life, Death, and Points Between
In Coming to Terms, the author explores the human condition in the context of his own life; takes a look at American culture, sometimes humorously, sometimes critically. Having been raised in a religiously conservative home, he raises philosophical and religious questions that every serious thinker will ponder. In the Tributes and End Time section, he remembers persons important in his life and discusses issues of death and dying including his own anticipated death. Glimpses of his humor and 30 penciled drawings are sprinkled throughout. In the last section, he expresses his love and respect for the natural world. There is something for everyone in this book, and many ideas to attract your intellect and your affection. AEW
The appeal of this book lies in the author's ability to share the depth of his joys, apprehensions, and sorrows, his courage to confront life's most puzzling questions, and his capacity to marvel at common events, sentiments that others may be unable to put into words or are reluctant to disclose. Yet, it is through these revelations that I find relief and affirmation in discovering that another being shares the doubts that plague my sleep. I also enjoy the voice given to fleeting and whimsical thoughts, such as pleasure that bubbles up upon seeing a bird in the window or the peace that comes from sharing a walk with a partner."
Gwen Hiebert Schroth, author of Curry, Corduroy and The Call.
