Why read it?

1 author picked Creating a Spiritual Legacy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Everyone has a story to share, and that story matters! For the past twenty-five years, I have been helping people tell their stories, and I like using this book because Taylor doesn’t overcomplicate it. He believes every person can share their “spiritual legacy”—that is, their “non-material” legacy, whether it is a story, letter, blessing, or something else. As I coach people in sharing their spiritual legacy, I often use the simple and accessible exercises from this book. 

From Elizabeth's list on preparing practically for the end of life.
