The Final Dance of Life: Our Journey with Judy

by Elaine J. Sturtz

How will you face death? Will you celebrate the journey and dance into heaven? Who will be with you in your final chapter of life? The Final Dance of Life is about a woman, Reverend Judy Shook, and a church family committed to serving God in their care during her disease. ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease grasped Judy's body at the height of her ministry, rendering her incapable of servicing herself, but incidentally empowering her to serve and change the lives of countless people who assisted her through the last fifteen months of her life. There are no saints here, just strong ordinary people who depended on God to lead their efforts in assisting Judy as she suffered the destructive and deadly disease, ALS. Elaine Sturtz reveals the joy, sorrows, the perseverance, the frustration and the courage of the person facing death and those caring for her. The strength of these dedicated people inspired an entire church congregation to fully understand and accept the meaning and hope of eternal life.
