From Erick Erickson, “arguably the most powerful conservative in America today” (The Atlantic), an inspiring book about life’s enduring values, based on a viral essay he wrote for his children after he and his wife both faced grave medical situations.

“A must read.” — RedState

In late 2016, prompted by the news that his wife was battling cancer and his own pulmonary medical scare, Erick Erickson posted a piece to his website, The Resurgent. Styled as a letter to his young children, the piece, titled “If I Should Die Before You Wake,” was a stirring message–and challenge–about how to live a life of purpose and joy. The essay went viral, shared by figures like New York Times columnist and author of The Road to Character, David Brooks. Now, in a time when our country needs healing and a reminder of our values more than ever, Erickson has expanded the project, composing a total of ten letters, featuring a wonderful mix of the practical, inspirational, and spiritual.

Genre:

  • "A must read: Erick Erickson's Before You Wake is a heartfelt reminder of what's important."
    RedState
  • "Poignant."
    "The Daily Briefing," Fox News
  • "Striking ... Reading [Erickson's] personal story is a small experiment in weakening the filter, in shaking off the spell of simulated life, of letting a person's suffering give you a glimpse of them in full."
    Ross Douthat, New York Times
