Ostensibly a book about a death, it’s also a story about living, and the struggle of living well as a Christian

'Informative, incisive and based on good Biblical scholarship - will give readers a new confidence in the relevance of the gospel to today’s culture'

Stirrers and Saints, by Brian Harris
'An interesting combination of insights on leadership and discipleship'

A devotional journal borne out of grief; would be a help to others struck not only by bereavement, but any of life’s disasters
