Augsburg Commentary On The New Testament

Those Facing Death offers a collection of stories that pertain to the end of life, many from the perspective of a dying person. Forty meditations are arranged by topic, such as anger, worry, dying alone, endurance, hanging on, good-byes, letting go, grieving, darkness, treasures, loneliness, laughter, wishes, gratitude, hope, and children. Each meditation offers hope and includes a prayer, a question to consider, and an opportunity for the reader to make a resolution for the day. Readers will appreciate being addressed with dignity and respect for the lessons they can learn-and share-as they journey on.
