Part pep talk, part practical handbook, Live Until You Die argues that the golden years are a time to take dominion over your world rather than shrink from it. Drawing on four decades of teaching, counseling, and land surveying, Randy Bott addresses staying active, mending family fences, modeling patience for grandchildren, writing a will, coping after a spouse's death, and facing mortality itself—closing with a Bible-based look at what waits on the other side of death's door. 'Died at twenty; buried at eighty!'—a wake-up call for anyone who has stopped truly living Written by a mission president and BYU professor who counseled the terminally ill for years Faith-filled answer to the modern push for assisted suicide: suffering has purpose Practical AND spiritual: covers everything from writing your will to what's beyond death's door “when you stop growing and progressing you die even if your heart is still beating and you continue to exist for many more years.”Perfect for a retiree or aging parent—or their adult children—looking for an encouraging, faith-centered guide to staying purposeful and facing mortality with hope.
