<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In Before I Go, Kreeft presents lessons learned about life, faith, morality, priorities, marriage, and more, as his legacy to his children--and to readers. He shares his practical wisdom, as well as his concern for truth and goodness, in a warm and readable way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Most parents have no trouble telling their children how to dress, drive, study, or shave, but struggle to talk with them about how best to live--about real love, faith, integrity, values, true enrichment, and success. In the tradition of Tuesdays With Morrie, Catholic philosopher Peter Kreeft shares with us the wisdom that he has compiled for his children as his best gift to them. Readable and browsable, these heart to heart chats present priceless truths to live by in a casual yet compelling way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Kreeft's latest book, presented as homey advice about life to his own children, appears deceptively simple, but it is profound and thought-provoking. This is no surprise for all Kreeft fans, myself included.--Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., author of <i>The Virtue-Driven Life<i><br><br>Peter Kreeft exhibits four gifts: he writes beautifully, he has a sense of humor, he really loves wisdom, and he is not afraid to share that love. Fortunate the young people into whose hands falls this book.--Lawrence S. Cunningham, The University of Notre Dame, author of <i>Thomas Merton: Performing the Gospel Life<i><br><br>This extraordinary book is a collection of luminous, practical, edifying, and hilarious insights into life--into real love. They are the heritage that the author/father, easing into the end phase of his life, has garnered from long experience and deep reflection, and which he seeks to pass down to his children and grandchildren, and the coming generations. Kreeft's 'last words' are in turn wise, witty, earthy, pithy, and frequently sublime. This is neither an abstract tome nor a 'how-to' manual. It's simply a treasure that should be handed out gratis to all young couples planning to be married--in fact, to all those embarking on the human adventure. In a word--to everyone.--Michael D. O'Brien, author of <i>Father Elijah<i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Peter Kreeft has been featured on the PBS series The Question of God. He is professor of philosophy at Boston College and lives in West Newton, Massachusetts.
