The personal account recalls \"the final crossing\" of Steven Foster - one of the pioneers of modern-day wilderness rites of passage - from the perspective of the hospice physician who helped ferry him across. Interspersed with Steven and Scotts story is a more sweeping historical view of how the rites of passage movement and the hospice movement have converged. \"This is an extraordinarily wise and compassionate book written by a physician of the body and the heart. In this beautifully written account of the death of his beloved teacher and friend we can discover the great mystery of meeting death as a teacher and friend. This book is for all of us. Its depths plumb ours  its wisdom opens ours  and the compassion of its author reminds us that this quality resides in all of us.\" - Joan Halifax Roshi  Abbot of Upaya Zen Center  founder of the Project on Being with Dying  and author of The Fruitful Darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964120592437,"sku":"ByrdShop_0977763218","price":41.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780977763214.jpg?v=1770449822","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-final-crossing-learning-to-die-in-order-to-live","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
