Dear Friends, Family, Neighbors, World...

If you were dying and you had one last chance to talk with the people that matter most to you, what would you say? If everything was on the line, and nothing was left on the table, what wisdom would you impart?

Back in 2007, professor Randy Pausch of Carnegie Mellon University learned that he was dying from pancreatic cancer. Taking on a tradition held by academics, he delivered "one last lecture" to a group of about 400 colleagues and students.

My name is Ray Majoran, and this book is my last lecture.

If you know me or have known me at all, much of "who I am" is in this book. Conversely, if you've never known me, thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope and pray that it will be of benefit to you.

I have itemized this book into three parts. The first part is my case for God and Jesus. You may be a complete atheist or want nothing to do with the church. Please allow me to state my case. You may want to close the book after the opening paragraph of Part 1, but please don't.

The second part is specifically directed to people who call themselves Christians. Of course, I would encourage you "to read it whether you call yourself a Christian or not. Again, my hope is that all who read this book will be challenged.

The final section of the book contains some of my life experiences. Hopefully you can learn from, and be inspired by, some of the things that God has walked me through.

So thinking back to the original question: If I were dying and had one last chance to talk with the people that matter most to me, what would I say?

You are the people who matter most to me and I've been pondering that question for my entire adult life.

Am I dying?

Yes.

And you are too.

About the Author

My name is Ray Majoran. I was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1976 to wonderful parents: Steve Majoran and Elaine Gibbison. I am married to my amazing wife, Carolyn, and together we have a beautiful daughter named Adalai.

"Dear Friends, Family, Neighbors, World…" is dedicated to everyone I've ever met, and to those of you who I haven't yet met. I started planning it back in 1998 before Carolyn and I were married, and have wanted to finish it ever since.

One thing I've learned in the last 16 years is that time is what you make of it. It's easy to go through life having "good intentions" when it comes to delivering on things that you want to do or say. But it's up to each of us to take the time to actually do them. For me, this book is one of those things that I needed to do.

In Luke 19:37-39, as Jesus was entering Jerusalem on a donkey, a whole multitude of His disciples began rejoicing, saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

In response, some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."Jesus replied to them in verse 40: "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

That's how I feel about Christ and the need for me to write this book. In a politically correct world that shuns the idea of God (let alone the idea that He is in control of it), I have chosen to not be silent.
