May I Walk You Home or Relaxercise

May I Walk You Home?: A Guide to Sharing Christ's Love With the Dying

Author: Melody Rossi

Reach the Terminally Ill With the Good News

Melody Rossi saw God work in the hearts of three close family members who died within a span of twenty-eight months. When she had nearly given up hope that they might believe, she was amazed to find their hearts softened to the gospel message.

Melody learned that illness has a way of making a person hungry for the truth about spiritual matters. If your unsaved friend or family member is facing death, this encouraging book can help you share Christ in loving, natural ways. She shows how to:

Serve in ways that speak louder than words

Respond to signs of spiritual openness

Discuss matters of eternal importance

Cope with the ups and downs of this difficult time

Filled with hope, joy, and practical wisdom, May I Walk You Home? will lovingly prepare you to talk to family and friends about Jesus.

It is rewarding to know that Ms. Rossi used the knowledge she gained from the death of several loved ones to serve the Lord and assist others. I highly recommend this book to those working with Hospice, hospitals, nursing homes and those who know someone facing a terminal illness.

I liked this book, because the author uses real-life experiences with her parents and a stepparent through their dying months. She gives a candid portrayal of herself, accepting the tools of the journey after she has walked into it feeling unequipped. She writes about forming a support team that can help with prayer and practical duties as one walks with a dying person; and includes checklists and suggestions, poignant quotations, scripture, song lyrics, and her heart and belief.

This book will uplift anyone curious about transitioning out of this life. Teens and middle-schoolers need to be able to discuss it with a caring adult. (Patty Inglish, armchairinterviews.com)
