Guidance to Happy Death
"Why do you look for the living among the dead?” Bible, Luke 24:5 “I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.” Bible: Revelation 3:1-3 “Do you know what feels strange about this hospital? Nobody is laughing here. The person who is not able to laugh anymore has no more reason to be here.” Conversation in hospital. This book is dedicated to the people from whom I have learned the secrets about life and death: especially Michel Boje, my patient for several years who taught me about the mystery of death (he had hepatitis C, was addicted to narcotics but was able to fulfill his dreams), my beloved father Nikolaj Kozevnikov, former chief engineer for hydropower station construction in Russia, who taught me (he is in his 80s) the art of resolving any extreme situations, my dear lovely Danish husband professor Leif Bjørnø who taught me (and he is still teaching) the art of adaptation of any life challenges and many-many others who were my daily teachers in the school of life and death. Thanks to all of them this book was created.

The Saints' Guide to Happiness
“Eloquent . . . and delightfully readable . . . Catholic convert Ellsberg . . . makes the spiritual struggles . . . of sanctified men and women accessible and relevant.” —Publishers Weekly In All Saints—published in 1997 and already a classic of its kind—Robert Ellsberg told the stories of 365 holy people with great vividness and eloquence. In The Saints' Guide to Happiness, Ellsberg looks to the saints to answer the questions: What is happiness, and how might we find it? Countless books answer these questions in terms of personal growth, career success, physical fitness, and the like. The Saints' Guide to Happiness proposes instead that happiness consists in a grasp of the deepest dimension of our humanity, which characterizes holy people past and present. The book offers a series of “lessons” in the life of the spirit: the struggle to feel alive in a frenzied society; the search for meaningful work, real friendship, and enduring love; the encounter with suffering and death; and the yearning to grasp the ultimate significance of our lives. In these “lessons,” our guides are the saints: historical figures like Augustine, Francis of Assisi, and Teresa of Avila, and moderns such as Dorothy Day, Flannery O'Connor, and Henri J. Nouwen. In the course of the book the figures familiar from stained-glass windows come to seem exemplars, not just of holy piety but of “life in abundance,” the quality in which happiness and holiness converge. “If you've been thirsting for a more authentic life, this is your book. . . . In these pages are living templates, which spark recognition.” — Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, author of Dead Man Walking
