Gobsmacked! That’s how I felt yesterday when I learned my second book has now been published in Chinese … deeply grateful.
The author shares a lot of real stories in the book, which helps readers understand the concepts that are difficult to understand, and also leaves a deep impression on readers. There are many beautiful phrases in the book that can touch people’s hearts, such as: “When wounded hearts bless one another, miracles often work.” The FAQ chapter at the back of the book is very practical and the workshops are well practiced, giving readers a taste of the whole meal of pastoral care.

As a hospice pastor, Grewe teaches pastors and clergy how to walk with the dying. It talks about what makes life meaningful and how to leave a spiritual legacy. In the search for the heart, connect with others, with oneself, with the Holy One, and with death. It also explains how to forgive, reflect more deeply, and offers a variety of blessing exercises. I would like to introduce you to this rare book of spiritual heritage.

I am grateful to be able to write a recommended essay for this. As a social worker teacher who promotes life and death education and research, I feel that the content shared by the author is authentic and helpful. It may not be easy to prepare people to die well. However, the author shared with us how he explores the existential anxiety of death with terminally ill patients step by step, helping them to leave a spiritual legacy, allowing them to find the lost meaning and leave the most beautiful blessings in their limited lives.

Sickness, old age and death are inevitable stages of life, and if you can accept the coming of death and prepare for it, it will be a beautiful thing to die without regrets. Through years of experience in pasting the terminally ill, and through clinical theological reflection, the author helps hospital pastors and pastoral staff to have a sharper sense of care for the elderly in the face of death, and enables the elderly to transcend the fear of death and still have peace and hope when facing the last journey of life.
