“What I Need to Know Before I Die” by Mavis Beneby Walton is an honest and reflective book that began as a personal letter to Mavis’s daughters but changed into a collective message for all sons and daughters.

Highlighting the power of written communication, the book explores the challenges of expressing the attributes of God to young adults, aiming to answer life’s purpose and the reason for existence. Concerning the incident of personal loss, including Mavis’s experience of losing two brothers within a short span and the impact of the pandemic on friends and family, the book goes deep into the universal questions surrounding life, death, and the afterlife. It encourages readers to reflect on their life journeys, accepting moments of regret and wish for second chances.
