by Jack Riemer

On This Page

Description

With this book, anyone, from any tradition, can write an ethical will. Words that come from the heart enter the heart." Many of these wills come from plain ordinary fathers and mothers, yet they touch the hearts of all who read them. And so I suggest that you read these wills, and then that you try your hand at writing one of your own. If you do, you will leave a gift to the future, and the not-yet-born children of your children's children will thank you and bless you for it. from the show more Introduction Ethical wills are precious spiritual documents, windows into the souls of those who write them. Those who write ethical wills--often parents writing letters to their children or grandparents to their grandchildren--try to sum up what they have learned in life, and what they want most for, and from, their loved ones. In this unique combination of "What Is" and "How To," Riemer and Stampfer show how to prepare an ethical will and provide as guides examples of ethical wills written by almost 100 famous and ordinary people. This wide range of contemporary ethical wills reveals the ongoing relevance of ethical wills for people of all faiths, all backgrounds. show less
