Some books are meant to be read, then put on the shelf to gather dust or to be given away or thrown out with the trash; others are to be re-read for a lifetime. One of the latter is this book, Preparation for Death, by Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696–1787), bishop and Doctor of the Church. He wrote Preparation for Death to help Christians become more dutiful in the care of their souls. The plan of the book consists of thirty-six considerations divided into three points which are meant to be read and meditated on.
