Can any good come from thinking about death? Our natural tendency is to answer that question no! But what if our meditation on death was informed by a theological understanding of death, a recognition of the comfort Jesus’s death affords Christians, and ethical guidance for dealing with death in these complicated days of modern medical developments? Rather than being morbidly unhelpful, authors Joel R. Beeke and Christopher W. Bogosh contend that meditating on dying and death can be profitable, even necessary, for us. Are you prepared to say that your death will be “gain” (Phil. 1:21)?

“Joel Beeke and Christopher Bogosh’s Dying and Death answers a crying need in the church today: clear biblical teaching about death and the afterlife. Experience shows that many believers (and pastors) are unaware of the Bible’s encouraging teaching about the wonderful things that God has in store for those who die in Christ. More than that, Dying and Death confronts many cultural myths regarding death and centers our hope in the victory that Christ has won over it. This short book is a must read, packing biblical truth and gospel encouragement for an event that we all must face. How much better to face death armed with the truth of God’s Word!” Richard D. Phillips, author of What Happens After Death?
