A Christian’s Pocket Guide to Understanding Suicide and Euthanasia
A Contemporary and Biblical Perspective
D. Eryl Davies
Part of the Christian’s Pocket Guide series
Help Christians to be informed about the issues
Biblical & pastoral perspective
In a society that does not like to speak about death, Eryl Davies brings a contemporary, biblical, pastoral perspective on one of the most controversial topics of our times. The desire to control when and how one’s life ends can be a complex and heart–breaking issue, so Davies encourages Christians to be informed, and to engage with the debate, bringing God’s light to the darkness.
