An Hour to Live, an Hour to Love

The True Story of the Best Gift Ever Given

By: Richard Carlson Ph. D., Kristine Carlson

Narrated by: Dick Hill, Susie Breck

Richard Carlson's Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series has been an incredible hit, with over nine million copies of the original book and over 16 million copies of the entire series in print. Sadly, Richard died unexpectedly in December 2006 at the age of 45.

Now Kristine Carlson has created an incredibly moving book in memory of her beloved husband, including Richard's love letter to Kristine on their 18th wedding anniversary. The letter answers the questions, "If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would it be to, what would you say, and why are you waiting?" Kristine responds to this letter in the second half of the book.

I bought a hard copy after listening to the sample and before getting very far into the audiobook!

I wish I could hear it read by Kristine, too. I just loved it. Cried much and resonated with just about every moment of it. I am so thankful Richard wrote the original letter and that Kristine choose to share it and add what she did. Plus there's an interview with her after the book!

Thought Provoking & Profound

This book reminds and realigns us of what is most important in this ratrace called life. The book helps us to look deep inside our soul and be okay with life's vulnerabilities, as it is these vulnerabilties that link us to the life of love and fulfillment that we so often overlook. This story and message are both thought provoking and profound.

An Hour To Live

I don't know what I expected but this book, unfortunately, is full of tired cliches. The gist: don't sweat the small stuff and love the one your with.
