Death is something that unites all people. We all encounter its effects at some point, and yet is something we are reluctant to discuss openly. With an emphasis on pastoral care, Eryl Davies looks through the biblical lens at this great taboo, confronting big questions about death, dying and grief.

… a gem of a book that will equip and strengthen the most overwhelmed Pastor, in the privilege of this work. Driven by scripture and utilising many years of pastoral experience, what Eryl Davies has written is wise, sensitive and practical.

I am grateful to Dr Davies for helping us think through these issues in the light of Scripture. Written with his usual clarity, attention to detail, and pastoral warmth, this is a book that should be in every pastor and elder’s library.

… meticulously researched, biblically faithful, pastorally wise and full of humanity. Written by a seasoned Pastor/Theologian, this distilled wisdom will help church leaders and congregations think through caring for those who mourn.
Paul Levy
Minister, International Presbyterian Church, Ealing, London
The author is passionate about pastoral care, and his years of ministry put him in an excellent position to offer wise counsel to pastors, chaplains, and church leaders as they come alongside those who walk in the shadow of death. Pastors will find his chapter on preaching funeral services especially helpful.
