Not Uninformed
Sure and Certain Hope for Death and Dying
D. Eryl Davies
Emphasis on pastoral care
Biblical understanding of suffering and death
Hope of the gospel in death
Death is something that unites all people. We all encounter its effects at some point, and yet is something we are reluctant to discuss openly. With an emphasis on pastoral care, Eryl Davies looks through the biblical lens at this great taboo, confronting big questions about death, dying and grief.

Dr Davies lovingly and accessibly opens up for us the endless breadth and complexity of the pastoral issues surrounding death and dying, and constantly leads us to Christ our death conquering Saviour. The wisdom in these pages is biblical, gritty, real, and tested.

… a comprehensive and compelling read from start to finish. Eryl Davies gives a personal pastoral perspective to difficult issues such as suicide and terminal illness in a profoundly Scriptural manner. This is an excellent handbook for pastors.

He speaks from the perspective of an experienced pastor as he wisely addresses practical issues of caring for those who are dying and their families. Perhaps the most profitable aspect of reading this book for me personally is the reminder that it is a privilege to be invited into people’s lives during these most difficult and significant seasons of life and death.
