MEDITATIONS FROM A HOSPICE BED

ISBN-978-0-9920228-1-5

​

Bishop Gary Woolsey, in his 71st year, was enjoying a life of retirement when a Stage 4 Glioblastoma brain tumour brought him to an abrupt halt! Surgery left him bed-ridden and paralyzed on his left side.  After moving to a hospice, with the realization that his life would be cut short, he embarked on his final series of writings. Drawing on his wisdom and experience from 46 years of ministry, Bishop Woolsey wrote Meditations from a Hospice Bed with his iPad propped on his lap, using a stylus in his good right hand. And so, we travel with him in joy and sorrow, tears and laughter, on an emotional journey homeward.

 

His wife, Marie, writes insightful reflections on each meditation, adding a glimpse of her own journey - that of a caregiver preparing for an unknown future.

 

It is their hope that these meditations will give insight to the living and be a comfort to those who are dying.

ON A WING AND A PRAYER

ISBN-978-0-9920228-0-8

​

Balancing wisdom from his 46 years of ministry with his obvious passion for motorcycle touring, Bishop Gary Woolsey weaves a common thread between the two. These 30 short meditations are geared to the biking enthusiast.

 

We hope that they will bless and encourage you on your journey.

"Gary, I am really impressed with the depth of your insight. I enjoy the variety of approach and the relating it to everyday situations."
