A Time to Mourn
Grieving the Loss of Those Whose Eternities Were Uncertain
Will Dobbie
When we are unsure of a loved one’s salvation
Truth and comfort from the Bible
Focus on character of God
To a Christian, the death of an unbeliever is heartbreaking. But even in the darkness of grief, there can be light. Will Dobbie’s nuanced examination of the hope found in the Bible offers more than shallow comfort. With the tone of a pastor, who knows how hard it is to lose a friend and not know whether they belong to Christ, Will Dobbie affirms that we don’t need to suppress grief. He directs our eyes towards the One who knows all things, who feels our heartache, and who Himself grieves. If you are mourning a loved one, this book offers not shallow consolation, but real comfort based in the truth of God’s Word.

In the footsteps of his Saviour, Will Dobbie has walked into the darkness to bring light and comfort to all who mourn. This is a wise and gentle book, full of grace and truth – full of Christ, the man of sorrows and shepherd of the downcast. It will be an immense help not just to those who mourn, but those, too, who want to walk with sufferers in their grief.

Will Dobbie has done us a great service in this deeply biblical and theological book. His theology is robustly reformed, his heart is warmly pastoral, and his counsel is wonderfully God–centered and realistic. I warmly commend this most helpful book.

Some topics get spoken of less often. I’ve never preached a full sermon to comfort those who have lost someone with an uncertain eternity. This is why I’m thankful Will Dobbie has done more than preach that sermon. He’s written a faithful, honest, and comforting book I can give others to explain one of the most troubling experiences in the Christian life.
