O Love That Will Not Let Me Go: Facing Death with Courageous Confidence in God

Justin Taylor Interview - Nancy Guthrie, "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go" from Crossway on Vimeo.

Essays from twenty-two classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers re-frame death in a scriptural context of hope in God.

For many modern-day Christians, death has become what J. I. Packer terms “the great unmentionable.” This attitude denies not only the reality of the human condition, but also the reality of God’s promises for believers beyond this life. The church needs to think more about death in the light of the gospel.

This compilation, edited by Nancy Guthrie, includes the writings of twenty-two classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers on how to prepare to die in faith. The short meditations are drawn from sermons, books, and other writings of classic theologians such as Jonathan Edwards and John Calvin, and of leading contemporary communicators such as John Piper, Tim Keller, J. I. Packer, and others. The writers provide a solidly scriptural and countercultural way to view the inevitability of death, explaining how and why believers can face physical death with hope, joy, and confidence in God’s promises for the life to come.
