Synopsis

You’ve been thinking about your legacy. You think it’s measured in dollars and cents. It’s not. Your real legacy is what you believe, what you know and what you hope for. An Ethical Will is a 3,500-year-old tradition and the permanent record of your beliefs and values, life lessons and hopes for the future. “The most important legacy is a lifetime’s wealth of personal values and life lessons. Practical guidance and can-do approach make SO GROWS THE TREE a must-read book for those who want to pass along what truly matters.” - Ken Dychtwald, Ph.D., author of A New Purpose: Redefining Money, Family, Work, Retirement, and Success “Having a will allows you to pass along your valuables. Leaving a legacy allows you to pass along your values. We must do both, correctly, to impact future generations.” - Jim Stovall, author of The Ultimate Gift and The Ultimate Life “Jo Kline Cebuhar captures and helps us realize an ideal that we all long for: leaving a meaningful legacy for our loved ones. SO GROWS THE TREE is a hard-working, yet amazingly inspirational book—a ‘must-have’ for anyone with a story to tell.” - Carol Field Dahlstrom, publisher of Creating Together Journal In SO GROWS THE TREE, you will discover: - The history and contemporary use of the timeless legacies known as Ethical Wills. - How to use an Ethical Will to inspire end-of-life care, estate and charitable giving plans. - Creative Ethical Wills examples, from a collection of quotations to a multi-media slideshow. - The privilege of crafting an Ethical Tribute or Ethical Eulogy to honor another person. - An easy-to-use guide for sharing your most valuable legacy, your Ethical Will.
