When You Are Dying: Preview
'This moving book was written with great difficulty by an Anglican priest with motor neurone disease at the end of life, and its ruthless honesty is challenging and compelling. I was moved in reading it, and I think it will be helpful to many who face life-shortening illnesses themselves or in those they love; so I hope it will be widely read.' Professor Keith Ward
