"Owen-Towle's text is a prayer to push away the fear we often associate with the end of life."--from the Foreword by Rev. Nancy McDonald LaddPlainly, I'm neither a scientific investigator nor a professional thanatologist. I'm a pastor, and my advice is straightforward: whatever the manner or date of our extinction might be, it behooves us to reflect deeply and prime diligently for our death, while we're still awake and kicking. May we refrain from taking a spiritual bypass and face our own end as boldly and creatively as possible. Doing so will deliver unspeakable gifts both to ourselves and to our loved ones."Making Peace with Our Own Death may become one of the most important things we will ever do."--from the opening chapter "Reflecting Upon Death Amidst a Pandemic"

Tom Owen-Towle

WAKE UP! IS FOR ANYONE WHO WISHES TO EXPERIENCE GREATER ILLUMINATION AND CLARITY IN HIS OR HER OWN LIFE. It aspires to make us smile, open a few stuck doors, rouse us from a moral slumber, and make our days and nights more bearable and beautiful by waking us up to a state of conscious, deep awareness. In short, these are proven lessons designed to help nourish a sense of spiritual wakefulness, in each day and in every moment. More importantly, these are not the familiar principles and perspectives that we’ve often seen before. They are unconventional–even quirky and edgy–pointers that awaken us to live a more balanced and well-integrated life. “Reading Tom Owen-Towle’s book can be risky; if you read it carefully you may actually wake up.” —Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of Recovery, the Sacred Art “This book is like drinking in the wisdom of the earth and every sentient being living upon it—luminous, welcoming, and eloquent.” —Pilar M. Placone, Ph.D., author of Mindful Parent Happy Child The Rev. Dr. Tom Owen-Towle has been a parish minister since 1967 and is the author of two dozen books on personal relationships and spiritual growth. Tom and his life-partner, the Rev. Dr. Carolyn Sheets Owen-Towle, are the active parents of four children and seven grandchildren. Tom is a national leader who continues to conduct workshops and retreats on the core themes of his books.
