Fellow classmates, take my advice, make sure you get this one. You Only Die Once is an enlightening, interesting book - truly a delight to read and quite humorous in parts. This book should be on the U.S. Bestseller List. Robert Verwey, Mount Eliza, Victoria, Australia I believe in this Book and Personal Planner so much that our Hospice team at Scott & White Hospital in Temple, TX will be furnishing copies of them to our patients and families. Patsy Jackson, Hospice Coordinator Margie Jenkins' book is a wonderfully insightful, easy-to-read journey through the things that we all treasure about life, especially as we face the end of life. She interweaves her personal experiences with her clients, sharing their experiences to illustrate that death is not something to be shut away in a closet, treated as "life's most overlooked milestone." Instead, she sets forth a detailed yet not overwhelming compendium of valuable information. The reader literally has a handbook on how to prepare for the end of life. And, her poignant stories of the final years of her own father, who lived to be 100, present perhaps some of the best writing (and helpful ideas) in the book. This is a very well-written, personable book, written in a conversational style that is most inviting. Nancy Borst, Writer, Kansas, USA Your book changed my life. Instead of avoiding this taboo subject, I can now talk to my daughters with comfort and wisdom. Mary Embree, Author Services, Ventura, CA As an Estate Planning Attorney, I encourage people to think beyond legal documents when considering death. I'm so impressed with how your Book and Personal Planner helps them think through their choices that I am giving a copy to each of my clients. Thanks, Mrs. Jenkins. John Brodnax, Lakeway, TX Margie, it is hard to imagine an upbeat book about death and dying, but you did it. Elizabeth Bennett, Former Book Editor, The Houston Post You Only Die Once tackles the subject of death with wit and style, embellished with personal vignettes. Funeral Consumer Alliance, National Office, South Burlington, VT Your book is enlightening, humorous, and pensive. A most significant book. A top-notcher. The late Dr. Charlie W. Shedd, Minister and Best-selling Author This Personal Planner is fun to fill out. Gives me a lot of things to talk to my family about. I am enjoying it. This Personal Planner completes the important combo with your Book. It should be in every home. This is a great way to put your affairs in order so your family will know exactly what your wishes are. When you complete this Personal Planner, you have an End-of-Life plan. Your Workbook makes the Book even more important and easier to use. The Personal Planner is easy to use and not intimidating at all. It is a wonderful step-by-step plan to guide me though the decisions I want to make before the end of my life. I don't know of another book or planner that offers this simple, easy to follow road map for making important decisions that we all need to make before we leave this world. This Personal Planner gives me a sense of control over my life and my life and my death. I can leave this personal information and feel relieved that my family will know what I want at the end of my life. They feel relieved, too. This book belongs in every home between the dictionary and the first aid kit. Read this entire book review.
