Críticas:

"A welcome call to the Church to recover a reasonable readiness for death."--D. Andrew Jones, Touchstone, November/December 2010

"This highly readable, brief and concentrated book is a treasure. . . I had to use 14 stick strips to remind me of the very best bits. . . I recommend this book for libraries, to be studied and discussed as an evaluation of congregational unity, caring, and goal setting. It has pricks that cannot be ignored, and points to bring us to purposeful lives."--Rosalee Stent, Lamplighter Reviews, September 2010

"The book is thoroughly researched, wide in scope, and a real eye-opener. Readers will find much to absorb and learn. It should be of value to individuals and families confronting death. Pastors, healthcare workers, and other professionals will also find it valuable. Highly recommended."--Neil Bartlett, CBA Retailers Resources, June 2010

Reseña del editor:

How now shall we die?Death will come to us all, but most of us live our lives as if death does not exist. People are living longer than ever, and medicine has made dying more complicated, more drawn out and more removed from the experience of most people. Death is partitioned off to hospital rooms, separated from our daily lives. Most of us find ourselves at a loss when death approaches. We don't know how to die well.Rob Moll recovers the deeply Christian practice of dying well. For centuries Christians have prepared for the "good death" with particular rituals and spiritual disciplines that have directed the actions of both the living and the dying. In this well-researched and pastorally sensitive book, Moll provides insight into death and dying issues with in-person reporting and interviews with hospice workers, doctors, nurses, bioethicists, family members and spiritual caregivers. He weighs in on bioethical and medical issues and gives guidance for those who care for the dying as well as for those who grieve.This book is a gentle companion for all who face death, whether one's own or that of a loved one. Christians can have confidence that because death is not the end, preparing to die helps us truly live.
