To a Christian, the death of an unbeliever is heartbreaking. But even in the darkness of grief, there can be light. Will Dobbie’s nuanced examination of the hope found in the Bible offers more than shallow comfort. With the tone of a pastor, who knows how hard it is to lose a friend and not know whether they belong to Christ, Will Dobbie affirms that we don’t need to suppress grief. He directs our eyes towards the One who knows all things, who feels our heartache, and who Himself grieves. If you are mourning a loved one, this book offers not shallow consolation, but real comfort based in the truth of God’s Word.

… a beautiful condensation of what we can know about our Father’s tender care. Knowing God in this way will prove a balm in the midst of sorrow and strength in the face of debilitating weakness. Thoroughly recommended.

We all need this book! Will Dobbie doesn’t reassure us with empty sentiments or cliche verses, but with the very character of our good God Himself. In this sorrow, there is no better anchor.

There are precious few good books on the subject of grief, and none that deals so well with this particularly vexed topic of grieving those who – as far as we can tell – died without faith. Will Dobbie has a clear mind and a pastor’s heart, and this winning combination has given us a short but necessary book to help us (and to help us be a help to others).

Some topics get spoken of less often. I’ve never preached a full sermon to comfort those who have lost someone with an uncertain eternity. This is why I’m thankful Will Dobbie has done more than preach that sermon. He’s written a faithful, honest, and comforting book I can give others to explain one of the most troubling experiences in the Christian life.
