Mission of Love: A spiritual guide to living and dying peacefully

Roger Cole

Formats & Editions

Fear of illness and death and the threat of being separated from loved one affect us all. Often those diagnosed with serious and life-threatening illnesses, including their families and loved ones, have to face intense challenges before they can begin to heal and find peace. In MISSION OF LOVE, a hospice doctor recounts the stories of people who have faced their greatest fears and have healed their lives through acceptance, inner peace and love.

Dr Cole s observations and insights are informed by his own spiritual journey, which began in a workshop with Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross in 1984 and later led him to India where his meditation practice deepened. His message is one of hope and compassion: we can transform our lives and experience acceptance and peace. He explains the benefits of meditation and includes healing meditation exercises to aid self-transformation, to help focus the mind and to cultivate positive qualities.

In describing the spiritual path, Dr Cole makes compelling arguments for the existence of an afterlife, and includes a moving personal account of the stages of spiritual transformation, its practices and rewards and the promise of self-discovery.

Roger Cole is a physician who works with the terminally ill. His story involves many people in their last days of life. Yet such is the loving and spiritual nature of his approach, these encounters brim with hope and happiness. There is much about this book that will inspire you. Above all, though, is the love that inspired it. - Paul Wilson, author of the 'clam' books
