A New York Times Bestseller! In the final two months of his life, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin made it his mission to share his personal reflections and insights in this book. Using as a framework the previous three years of his life, which included a widely-publicized false accusation of sexual misconduct, a diagnosis of cancer after fifteen months of remission, Cardinal Bernardin tells his story openly and honestly. At the end of his life, the Cardinal was at peace. He accepted his peace as a gift from God, and through this book, he shares that gift with us all.
