Becoming Ready to Die: The Fight for My Soul and How to Reclaim Yours

Foreword by Former Green Beret and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Scott Mann.

We live in an era of rising global tension, technological advancements that feel ripped from dystopian fiction, and an undercurrent of instability humming beneath everyday life. With the future’s trajectory more fragile than ever, one truth has become undeniable: If there was ever a moment in history to confront our mortality and live at our highest potential, it’s now.

It’s easy to ignore mortality when life feels predictable. Bubba Herrick didn’t have that luxury. A collegiate pitcher with dreams of the big leagues, he flatlined during what should have been a routine surgery—and everything changed.

In what near-death researchers call a Life Review, he was forced to relive his entire life—every wound, every addiction, every missed chance to love or forgive. He died full of regret, resentment, and anger toward a God he never believed in, until he mouthed the words that would define the rest of his journey: “I surrender.”

Revived against all odds, Bubba’s second chance was not a miracle—it was a mission. What followed was the collapse of his career, identity loss, addiction, and even homelessness. But through pain, shame, and a cross-country pilgrimage, he discovered why he was sent back: to learn what it means to become ready to die.

Becoming Ready to Die is Bubba’s raw, unfiltered account of that transformation—a battle to rebuild his body, confront his demons, and reclaim his soul. More than a memoir, it’s a wake-up call: a reminder that you don’t need to flatline on an operating table to face your mortality, heal your deepest wounds, and discover your Great Purpose.
