The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most "referred to" from the Bible. It speaks to a society divided as part of daily life, yet one individual crosses the taboos to assist another who's been beaten and robbed, without thought of cost, time, image or repercussions.

In Genesis, God asks Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" Cain says, "Am I my brother's keeper?" That question has been food for religious thought for many centuries.

Hospice work is everyone's story of the Good Samaritan. It's a microcosm of a selfless, and thus more fulfilling, life. It's a constant reminder that we're our brothers' (and sisters') keeper, we're all called to be Good Samaritans.

This volume contains inspiration and life lessons for all, being birthed from Hospice work. It spans the insightful and poignant, to simple and fun, to meaningful and reflective, as it taps a wide array of biblical, religious and spiritual wisdom.
