Book Review By Maurice A. Williams
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

How would you feel if you knew you were dying? Mitch Albom tells a true story of Morrie Schwartz who is dying of ALS. A brave man with a positive view of life, Morrie believes one cannot learn how to live unless one knows how to die. One of his students from long ago learns of Morrie's situation and begins to visit Morrie. Morrie, once again, teaches his former student, Mitch Albom, this time inspiring Albom with life's final lesson.

This otherwise inspiring true story is, I think, somewhat disappointing because the man learning how to die didn't seem to make any preparation for meeting God when he does die.
