This gripping inspirational memoir grapples with the tension between faith and science--and between death and hope--as a seasoned neurosurgeon faces insurmountable odds and grief both in the office and at home. Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing brain surgeon, assumed he knew most outcomes for people with glioblastoma, head injuries, and other health-care problems. Yet even as he tried to give patients hope, his own heart would sink as he realized, I've seen the end of you. But it became far more personal when the acclaimed doctor experienced an unimaginable family tragedy. That's when he reached the end of himself. Page-turning medical stories serve as the backdrop for a raw, honest look at how we can remain on solid ground when everything goes wrong and how we can find light in the darkest hours of life. I've Seen the End of You is the rare book that offers tender empathy and tangible hope for those who are suffering. No matter what you're facing, this doesn't have to be the end. Even when nothing seems to makes sense, God can transform your circumstances and your life. And he can offer a new beginning.

Our first loves, first experiences, and first favorites are sacred grounds. They shape us in ways our second loves, second experiences, and second favorites do not, and cannot. We go into firsts with our eyes shut, without any reservation, because we don't know any better, and our firsts become the measuring stick for every love, experience, and favorite afterward-when our eyes are fully open and we are more cautious.If you enjoyed author Lee Warren's book of coffee shop essays, "Common Grounds: Contemplations, Confessions, and (Unexpected) Connections from the Coffee Shop," then you'll love this second dose of introspection that will take you back to a simpler time in your life.Purchase your copy today.

Village-inspired approaches to befriending death, awakening aliveness, and belonging to each other at the end of life In a world where death is medicalized, sanitized, isolated, and outsourced, Dying Together: The Art of Community Death Care introduces the radical notion that mortality is a gift—and a teacher. Author Lee Warren, a cultural pioneer and leading voice in the conscious dying movement, draws from three decades of ecovillage living, where five significant deaths over two years changed the landscape of their collective. Through firsthand accounts, embodied exercises, and a community-building toolkit, Dying Together offers a visionary yet grounded approach that returns death to the center of our personal and collective lives—and guides us to belong to each other in the tenderness of loss and grief. Inside you'll find: Soulful practices drawn from a community that chose to face death together A wisdom-based toolkit for preparing ourselves—and each other—for death in sacred and meaningful ways Contemplative and communal exercises to foster conversation, connection, and intimacy with death Guidance for reshaping our fear of death, creating shared rituals, and supporting each other at the end of life A framework for restoring coherence and reverence to our communities. Essential reading for anyone ready to face the inevitability of dying with honesty and heart—caregivers, community builders, sustainability seekers, and all who sense that learning to die well is part of remembering how to live.
