    About this ebook

    Explore an insightful perspective and view death as a welcomed guest.

    Redefining Moments offers the perspective of a man at the tail end of a richly rewarding life. Gordon B. Zacks was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal cancer in December 2013. Instead of succumbing to illness and grief, he channeled the energy he had into positivity, accumulated through decades of spiritual and emotional fulfillment. The result was not only a celebration of his time with his family and friends, but also this book, with the purpose to help others realize and maximize the joys of being alive.

    Readers who heed his advice carefully may one day count themselves lucky to be in a similar position: able to greet death as an unexpected, but welcome guest, at the end of a great life.
