"In the vignettes that fill the pages of his book, Chaplain Matt Holmes attends to the mysterious interweaving of death and life by deeply reflecting on his ministry with the dying. With poetic observation, personal vulnerability, narrative skill, and at times poignant humor, Chaplain Holmes reminds us to pay attention: to pay attention to everything."
