O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
Facing Death with Courageous Confidence in God
For many modern-day Christians, death has become what J. I. Packer terms “the great unmentionable.” This attitude denies not only the reality of the human condition, but also the reality of God’s promises for believers beyond this life. The church needs to think more about death in the light of the gospel.

When we hear that a friend is struggling, it can be easy to say, ‘I’m praying for you’, but harder to know what to actually pray.
Through forty carefully chosen Scripture passages, Nancy Guthrie opens up the wealth of scripture to teach us how to pray for those who are hurting. She shows us how the Bible provides us with a vocabulary for prayer that enables us to ask God to achieve what he intends in and through suffering.

Each chapter includes a passage, a short explanation, and a prayer for your friend.

Dying Thoughts (Richard Baxter) (#36)
Written in the final weeks of his own life, Puritan Richard Baxter has written the most searching, personal examination of the soul, for any person who feels the tension the Apostle Paul spoke of when he wrote in Philippians that he felt very much pulled in two directions – having a desire to remain in this world and labor on, for others, or a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better (Phil. 1:23).
Richard Baxter wrestles openly, before the reader, with his own doubts and fears, anxious to prepare his soul as he faces eternity.

Grieving: Your Path Back to Peace (James White)
An excellent summary of the key issues related to grief, and in a brief, readable form that a grieving person will read and not be overly daunted by. Using personal examples and his background as a grief counselor, pastor James White shares words that every pastor, every counselor, every person facing loss, and anyone that wants to help those who are, should read.
People in grief wonder if they will ever feel okay again. Not only do you face overwhelming emotions of loss, you can feel discouraged or even ashamed when your grief doesn’t disappear quickly or happen in neat, orderly stages. For all people who have experienced loss, moments of joy and normalcy mix with moments of sadness and anger. Being moved once again by painful emotions you thought you had tamed isn’t a setback. It’s part of an upward process of healing. And when you allow your grief to be accompanied by hope in God, grieving can be your path back to peace.
