Description
'A helpful reminder that no one escapes this life alive, Lori Ericksonâ€s Near the Exit
is a travel text and an act of religious exploration, presenting spiritual meditations from some of the
holiest places on Earth....Showing how coping mechanisms and spiritual practices from around the
world can be valuable for learning more about our own lives and eventual deaths, Near the Exit
is an ideal guidebook to facing the inevitable with religious or spiritual perspective.' —Foreword
Reviews 'This bookâ€s journey to spiritual places near and far is worth taking.' —Library Journal
, starred review“Open-hearted and soulful, never morbid, and often uplifting, Near the Exit
is a colorful travelogue of mortality. Iâ€ve read many books on illness and dying; few have
made me smile as often and see the uniquely human richness of the final chapters of life.―—Ira
Byock, author of Dying Well and The Best Care Possible and Active Emeritus Professor of
Medicine, the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth“Near the Exit is a delicious, funny, and
quite moving read. Part actual travelogue, itâ€s also a spiritual exploration of death. The writing
is stellar; the reflections on the unexpected nature of grief and the way Lori Erickson plumbs
‘seeming coincidence†grabbed my attention and didnâ€t let it go. Highly recommend for
people of any or no faith practice.―—Jennifer Grant, author of Love You More and Maybe I Can
Love My Neighbor Too“Erickson is our expert tour guide as she takes us on a colorful journey
of the worldâ€s sacred death rituals and destinations. Her vivid prose is our companion and
invitation to the spiritual packing we neednâ€t delay until the night before departure.―—J.
Dana Trent, author of Dessert First: Preparing for Death While Savoring Life“Near the Exit
is not a typical book on death and dying from a Christian perspective. It is an intriguing exploration
of late life and death that will sometimes cause you to squirm or to laugh out loud. Always though,
it will prompt you to think deeply about what it is to be mortal. Author Lori Erikson fearlessly
weaves ancient perspectives and cultural expressions about death gleaned from her own travel
experiences into the intimate stories of her motherâ€s life in a nursing home in Iowa. Near the
Exit will appeal to anyone who struggles to understand the mystery of death and dying.―—Missy
Buchanan, advocate, writer, and speaker for older adults“What happens when a gifted travel
writer combines her interests in travel, religion, and death? The result is a fascinating book called
Near the Exit, with trips to Rome, a Day of the Dead celebration, pyramids in Egypt and Mexico,
nursing homes, a Maori ceremony in New Zealand, a farm in Iowa, and more. Beautiful writing
about a trip we all will someday take.―—Brian D. McLaren, author and activist“When I first
