"I knew by the title and the writer I would enjoy Live Until You Die. What I was not prepared for was--I read the book in two sittings. I could not put it down. There truly is something for all ages and interest. As you read this book you will think of dozens of people you want to share it with. Beware--it may challenge some of your current thinking. I plan to use some of Bob's material when I teach home-care workers. It personally hit me from all directions--nurse, wife of a person with Alzheimer's, mother, grandmother, and most of all as a Christian helping my struggling family with the ups and downs of life on this earth. Live until You Die will remind all readers of God's love for us and give us inspiration to truly LIVE our lives in the present, being aware of all that is around us." --Brenda Dunn, RN, BSN, founder and CEO of hospice of Montezuma, CO, and Family Life Care in Florida and Colorado. "Chaplain Robert Howard Bole uses many of his experiences as illustrations in his book to help us to better understand that we should take time to consider how to live better lives and to get the best out of life. He has the ability to speak people's language clearly and with a depth of sensitivity. It offers hope and answers for persons who are just going through the motions as they live from day to day to change their attitudes and habits and enjoy life while they are alive. It can provide practical help for persons who have really forgotten how to live and enjoy life. This book is a significant work that is written in a balanced and sensitive way. I highly recommend it." -Francis Yorke, PhD (candidate), Deputy Director Jamaica School of Preaching and Biblical Studies, Kingston, Jamaica. "Once again I am amazed with Dr. Bole's style of teaching as he succinctly helps us make sense of how to live and draw purpose from life, even into our seventies, eighties, and well beyond. His book, Live Until You Die, is peppered with lyrics from popular songs over the past several decades as well as philosophical phrases from timeless writers. His sense of humor comes through as he motivates and inspires us through his countless stories and allegories. I was very fortunate to have him as my professor through the American Christian Bible College where I earned a degree in Christian Counseling. His courses helped equip me to counsel and instruct troubled youth at a Youth Challenge Academy for twelve years, and become an advocate for children. The information I have gleaned about the brain will help me in my present position in the health-food industry where my customers are always seeking help with keeping their brains functioning well. I also care for my elderly mother and have already started to implement some of the recommendations outlined in the book. --Rhoda Fountain, retired Postmaster, counselor, and health food rep, Middleburg, Florida "Bob shows us how to live in wholeness by taking care of our brain, body, and soul. There is a lot of practical advice in the book about taking care of ourselves that we need to be reminded of on a regular basis. Bob weaves his life experiences of living in the human laboratories of foreign lands and clinical situations with grieving people to give us a glimpse of what a fulfilling, long life could be. Bob has modeled his book with his own life that shows us that age does not limit us from having a vibrant ministry and life. After losing my mother to Alzheimer's disease, it's refreshing to see a book that encourages us to exercise our mind along with our body. Ministers and lay people, regardless of their length of ministry, can increase their impact on their world by utilizing the advice in Bob's book." --Brent Beaird, M.Div., hospice chaplain for geriatric patients for over twenty years
