This comprehensive volume is a must-have resource for every pastor. It contains over 100 sample sermons from preachers across the denominational spectrum, plus a vast array of prayers, scripture readings, and other material for planning and conducting meaningful funeral services. A convenient CD with text files for quick tailoring to specific circumstances is also included. The sermons cover a wide range of topics, including: * honoring the long and fruitful lives of faithful Christians * comforting the families and friends of children who left this world too soon * dealing with troubling questions about God raised by those who have suffered * offering solace to the loved ones of those who have died suddenly and unexpectedly * demonstrating how the image of God is present even in difficult and unsavory people * celebrating a variety of distinctive "characters" * addressing the difficult issues associated with those who have committed suicide * witnessing the Christian message of salvation to the unchurched Life Everlasting is also packed with other valuable resources: * children's messages that help young people grasp the meaning of death * prayers and other liturgical material, including calls to worship and responsive scripture readings * an extensive selection of scripture texts, each with brief "sermon starter" ideas * lists of appropriate musical repertoire, including hymns, choral music, instrumental music, and music for soloists With all this in one volume, Life Everlasting provides a complete set of practical tools for making funerals powerfully effective moments of ministry that reaffirm the central Christian message of Jesus Christ's victory over death.
