In Closing Comments, Brian A. Smith (1940-2000) eloquently journals his own spiritual journey with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), a debilitating disease often at the center of the doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia debates.

Gifted with the rare ability to weave hope into the most sombre of thoughts and humor into the most humiliating of circumstances ("The top 10 advantages of getting a G-Tube" ), Smith portrays to readers the painful realities of living with this fatal condition, all the while weaving into this moving account his hope and trust in Jesus Christ.

"We all look for ways to turn the tide of our body's misfortune to our soul's advantage. Due to our ties to this world and the mist that obscures the next one, we find that a very difficult task. This book focuses on the destination and sheds light on the path so that the cared-for and the care-giver are both illuminated on the way."
