I Am a Human: A Memoir on Grief, Identity, and Hope

By Pierce Taylor Hibbs

Book Overview

Losing a parent can reveal much about who you are. Award-winning Christian author Pierce Taylor Hibbs (author of Struck Down but Not Destroyed and Finding Hope in Hard Things) offers a concise and gripping memoir that chronicles his spiritual journey through losing his father at a young age. In a narrative that blends prose, art, and intimacy, he shows four things grief has taught him about being a human: transience (the fact that all things are passing away), limitation (our inability to control all things, including our death), perspective (our unique place in the world), and hope (our longing for more than what we see). The memoir works through these words in relation to his father's death, drawing out deep spiritual observations that serve to remind readers who they are. Hibbs takes what is a universal experience and makes it tangible for readers without removing its relevance for their own lives. These are words to be felt and experienced, not merely read.
