His second book, Taking off a Coat: Ruminations on the Infinite Soul, is a collection of essays/blog columns detailing his belief on death and dying. ONE OF THE ATTRIBUTES OF WRITING THAT KEEPS ME WRITING IS THE ABILITY TO RE-VISIT PAST EVENTS AND RE-CREATE PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER LIVING, GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO VISIT WITH THEM AGAIN. – C.
