Going Home aims to be your companion for this time of transition." -From the IntroductionWhen death is imminent, doubts may arise in the heart of even the most devoted Christian. Questions about the security of their salvation and the reason for their suffering, feelings of guilt about craving relief, and concerns for those they will leave behind are all addressed in this book of spiritual comfort and practical guidance.Written specifically for terminally ill Christians and their loved ones, helpful chapters include dealing with doubts, meeting the needs of family, wrapping up relational conflicts, and preparing a will."The authors write from experience and have a depth of perspective on helping people along on their journey home to Jesus.
