This book is designed to assure the reader of the certainty of the triumph of JesusÕ victory over death and grief. In the central portion the author writes as a pastor with more than forty years of experience with the unexpected deaths of people of all ages, stages of life, and states of faith, as well as preparing terminally ill believers and their families for death in Christ.
There are stories of those who at the time of death Òlooked up with expectationÓ as the day of their deliverance drew near. Tough and controversial issues are also addressed such as death by SIDS, turning off life-support systems, AIDS, suicide, and murder. In all these situations, the eternal love of God may be found, and consolation provided to the grieving.
This book contains the greatest gift of the Christian dead to the living who long for it: a practical and powerful testimony of saving faith under circumstances which make it most believable.
