I hope that people will read this book – and talk about it, and take inspiration from it. I hope we will let Rob Moll´s insights help us become communities where people can reckon with, rather than dodge, death.”  —Lauren Winner, author, professor Duke Divinity School, from foreword

 
“Dying has for many today, like sex in the nineteenth century, become the great unmentionable. But this brave, realistic, well-researched and well-digested book restores the ‘good death,’ as the climax of faithful discipleship, to the Christian radar screen. On going home to God, and helping others on the same journey, what is said here is excellent from every point of view.”  —J. I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College, author, Knowing God

 
“Every seminarian and parish minister should read this book. Rob Moll recovers the Christian tradition’s lost teaching on preparing for death. He then offers theologically sound guidance for families and clergy as they serve the dying and then honor their legacy. Indispensable.” —David Neff, editor-in-chief and vice president, Christianity Today Media Group

“This book is urgently needed by many churches and individuals who don’t help their members or loved ones to die well. Rob Moll reminds Christians not to be afraid of their own deaths. His numerous ideas also teach us how to accompany other people to their deaths. I pray this book will enable many congregations to develop new practices and programs for the elderly and their caretakers.” —Marva J. Dawn, author of Being Well When We’re Ill, My Soul Waits and In the Beginning, GOD
