When You Are Dying: A Personal Exploration of Life, Suffering, and Belief

Facing death is not an easy matter. Not when your days are counted. Not when it is evident your body is deteriorating, and your will to fight slowly diminishes. Not when all you can do is to take a deep breath and a defiant stand before God for his apparent absence from a depraved world, a world that moves adrift in the overall scheme of creation. Not when this defiant stand betrays a sense of nostalgia for someone who is no longer there, side by side with Gaby, his wife, Philip has written a poignant story. His book will touch many a reader, regardless of his or her own condition. This is so because it is written with the passion of a heart that is dying against his will and because the writer wants his words of wisdom about his own experience of life and death to last and to survive him. This is why I highly recommend reading this exceptional book.'Elsa Tamez, Emeritus Professor of the Latin American Biblical University
