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 Jesuss 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)?ContentsPart One: The Basics1.
