Award-winning Christian author Pierce Taylor Hibbs (author of and ) offers a concise and gripping memoir that chronicles his spiritual journey through losing his father at a young age. In a narrative that blends prose, art, and intimacy, he shows three things grief has taught him about being a human. First is , the passing away of himself and all things. Second is , which allows for human relationships. Third is , seeing the world from a certain place. Last is , choosing to believe that there is more to life than what we see. The memoir works through these words in relation to his father's death, drawing out deep spiritual observations that serve to remind readers who they are. Hibbs takes what is a universal experience and makes it tangible for readers without removing its relevance for their own lives. These are words to be , not merely read.
