The Last Lecture

Title: The Last Lecture

Authors: Randy Pausch and Jeffrey Zaslow

Rating: *****

Review: I started listening to this book last week. I loved it. I finished it on Sunday, en route to church. When I was a few miles away, Randy started talking about his faith. It was really only a small blurb in the book, but I heard it at just the right moment. Minutes later, a friend stepped into my Sunday School class to ask us to pray for the First Baptist Church down the road. We learned the pastor had been shot, and two church members stabbed. Finishing this book, under those circumstances, was difficult. I didn't personally know the pastor, but I knew several people who did. I applaud Mr. Pausch for his writing. I wish we all could have a "Last Lecture".
