The authors have provided a variety of material to prepare people practically, emotionally, and spiritually for the end of their lives on earth. We are told: 'The course covers six topics: Legal practicalities; Life stories; Funeral planning; Physical aspects of dying; and the Life to come. It also offers a range of materials on the theme of living well in the light of mortality; a creative workshop, sermon starters, Bible studies, meditations, and a set of prayer stations which combine to form a prayer walk.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is a good course and well researched, but its promotion may be a challenge, because most people, including Christians, avoid thinking about death. Nevertheless, the unwillingness to face the process of dying can have serious pastoral consequences and give rise to some unbiblical and strange ideas about life after death. Most clergy will have encountered bereaved people who imagine a parallel universe in which their departed relatives in bliss look down upon us poor souls below!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis course is broad in its range of topics, offering good practical and legal advice, besides drawing people into the mystery of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It encourages people to think, to reflect, and to face their innermost feelings and fears. The material is pastoral and honest in its tone, and, while not claiming to have all the answers, it affirms the love and goodness of God and why Christians can face death in 'sure and certain hope'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe funeral preface reminds us that, for God’s faithful people, life is changed, not ended, and when our mortal flesh is laid aside, an everlasting dwelling place is made ready for us in heaven. For churches with elderly folk in their congregations, this course will provide help for them to prepare for, and hopefully to embrace, that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rt Revd Dominic Walker OGS is a former Bishop of Monmouth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-10-06T16:10:19+01:00","created_at":"2023-10-06T16:10:19+01:00","vendor":"Joanna Collicutt","type":"Paperback","tags":["Anna Chaplaincy books","Anna Chaplaincy Courses","Bereavement","Glassboxx","Grief","New Titles","Pastoral care"],"price":2499,"price_min":2499,"price_max":2499,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43664255549631,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800392830","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":34897174364351,"product_id":7550558208191,"position":1,"created_at":"2023-10-06T16:10:19+01:00","updated_at":"2023-10-06T16:10:21+01:00","alt":null,"width":2480,"height":3508,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021","variant_ids":[43664255549631]},"available":true,"name":"Death and Life: A church's guide to exploring mortality - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":2499,"weight":540,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800392830","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":27605747826879,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.707,"height":3508,"width":2480,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021","\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLifeReflectionCards_2.png?v=1713518598"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":27605747826879,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.707,"height":3508,"width":2480,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021"},"aspect_ratio":0.707,"height":3508,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLife.jpg?v=1696605021","width":2480},{"alt":null,"id":28639584944319,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.193,"height":788,"width":940,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLifeReflectionCards_2.png?v=1713518598"},"aspect_ratio":1.193,"height":788,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/files\/DeathandLifeReflectionCards_2.png?v=1713518598","width":940}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a society we aren’t good at talking about death, and as individuals we may try and avoid thinking about it.

The authors have provided a variety of material to prepare people practically, emotionally, and spiritually for the end of their lives on earth. We are told: 'The course covers six topics: Legal practicalities; Life stories; Funeral planning; Physical aspects of dying; and the Life to come. It also offers a range of materials on the theme of living well in the light of mortality; a creative workshop, sermon starters, Bible studies, meditations, and a set of prayer stations which combine to form a prayer walk.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis is a good course and well researched, but its promotion may be a challenge, because most people, including Christians, avoid thinking about death. Nevertheless, the unwillingness to face the process of dying can have serious pastoral consequences and give rise to some unbiblical and strange ideas about life after death. Most clergy will have encountered bereaved people who imagine a parallel universe in which their departed relatives in bliss look down upon us poor souls below!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis course is broad in its range of topics, offering good practical and legal advice, besides drawing people into the mystery of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It encourages people to think, to reflect, and to face their innermost feelings and fears. The material is pastoral and honest in its tone, and, while not claiming to have all the answers, it affirms the love and goodness of God and why Christians can face death in 'sure and certain hope'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe funeral preface reminds us that, for God’s faithful people, life is changed, not ended, and when our mortal flesh is laid aside, an everlasting dwelling place is made ready for us in heaven. For churches with elderly folk in their congregations, this course will provide help for them to prepare for, and hopefully to embrace, that change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Rt Revd Dominic Walker OGS is a former Bishop of Monmouth\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
