Description
When we’re standing at the gravesite, death gives little closure and leaves many questions unanswered. Despite the common claim that “dying is just a natural part of life,“ people seem to avoid this unsettling subject more than ever. Yet the Bible doesn’t shy away from the reality of death. God’s Word has the answers we need to face the grave with confidence in our risen Redeemer.
In this book, Dr. Guy Waters provides the Bible’s answers to essential questions about death, dying, and what comes after this life. Here is balm for the grieving, counsel for caretakers, and guidance to help God’s people rest in Christ’s victory as we come to life’s final battle.
Endorsements
“In these pages, Guy Prentiss Waters takes us gently, but securely, by the hand, and leads us through twelve chapters of biblically rich, pastorally reliable, spiritually wise, and deeply sensitive teaching to help us overcome death and the fears that accompany it. Facing the Last Enemy simultaneously answers our questions and reassures us that if we can say with Paul ‘to me to live is Christ’ then we can also be confident that ‘to die is gain.’ It is a classic of its kind and deserves a place in every home.”
—Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson
“In short order, Dr. Waters has provided for us a theologically sound and practical book on the matter that faces us all: our death and what happens afterwards. Written with the eye of a New Testament scholar, but accessible to everyone, Facing the Last Enemy will provide invaluable help to those facing death and their next of kin. I know nothing that meets this important need as well as this book does, and I will be highly recommending it at the church at which I serve. Invaluable.”
—Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas
