ReviewsThis 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., The book offers 163 lessons for the good life based on Kreeft's own experiences and study and just plain living (more than six decades). It is common sense delivered with uncommon ease and sincerity. The reader--and this is a book for all ages--will stop often along the way, so obvious are these bits of wisdom we fail to remember. Topics range broadly: making choices wisely, prioritizing, handling worry, time management, prayer life, sacrifices, marriage and family, keeping a chapbook, love, death. Before I Go belongs in every Christian family's library, to be dipped into often., Reading Before I Go will be a pure pleasure for the thoughtfully reflective, and a valuable gift for many parents to use in passing on wise words to their children before they lose the ability to say those final, important words., The book offers 163 lessons for the good life based on Kreeft "s own experiences and study and just plain living (more than six decades).

They are all well-written, and important., Kreeft's latest book, presented as homey advice about life to his own children, appears deceptively simple, but it is profound and thought-provoking.

SynopsisMost 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., 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.
