Author Kathleen Ryan will be signing her new book "Last Words for the Last Days" on Wednesday, August 20th, at the BYU Bookstore on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
"Last Words for the Last Days" features the final words of over fifty prophets. Ryan asks, “Have you ever considered what your last words to family and friends might be?” It’s a question many will be talking about at the book signing, and a question each of us should think seriously about.
“We’re all going to die at some point, and we can’t take anything with us, but we can all leave some of the knowledge and wisdom gained during our lifetimes to help those we leave behind.” According to Ryan, that is exactly what prophets like Moses, Isaiah, David, Jeremiah, John, Joseph and Alma tried to do when writing their last words.
To help make their words even more personal, the author features the prophet's last words in letter format, rather than in verse form. Each chapter examines the unique circumstances surrounding the life of a different prophet. Following this historical and biographical information, the chapter concludes with that prophet’s final words.
“When you read their last words in this context you realize that they were intended to help guide us in the last days, and that their words are as relevant to us today as they were when these great men of God wrote them.” says Ryan.
