Grief, hope, and solace

"This tender book, written by a beloved pastor after the death of his dear wife, offers solace to those who mourn. A unique manual that teaches us how to grieve piously is of utmost relevance to all of us, if not for today, certainly for tomorrow." Maurice Roberts, Scotland, former editor of The Banner of Truth magazine.

"Albert N. Martin is an experienced pastor, skilled teacher, and talented writer who gives us an invaluable treasure in this book. The sobering reality is that none of us are exempt from facing death. We constantly find ourselves facing the loss of loved ones at every turn of life's path. With this in mind, this book guides us through the entire painful process of death from an intensely biblical perspective. Those who read these pages will, without a doubt, find themselves directed to Christ and will feel that they have been greatly helped." Steve Lawson, Senior Pastor of Christ Fellowship Baptist Church, Mobile, Alabama.

"Al Martin weaves personal tenderness and biblical teaching into this sweet, comforting book. It lifts our minds to heaven so we can see the glory of the Redeemer and his beautified bride. It also brings deep knowledge and comfort to our experience here on earth. What a blessed gift for a grieving friend! Buy it and give it away, but be sure to keep a copy for yourself too. We can never be too prepared for the trial of losing a loved one." Dr. Joel R. Beeke, President of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"Dr. Martin combines an understanding of the best of theology and biblical exegesis with all the pathos of a deeply sensitive, redeemed man. Channel this through the mind and heart of a pastor who feels his divine commission to minister to others what the Lord has taught him in the crucible of painful human experience, and you will get the essence of this precious volume." Rev. William Shihko, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Franklin Square, N.Y.

"For over fifty years, Albert N. Martin has preached the Word of God with power. Now he does so in writing. Nowhere in life is the truth of the gospel more real than when a loved one dies in Christ. At that moment, more than any other, the believer needs to experience the comfort of Christ in the gospel. In this tender, biblical, experiential, and even evangelistic book, Albert Martin leads his readers to a wonderful encounter with the Lord Jesus. He uses Scripture, pastoral wisdom, and the experience of his beloved wife's death to show believers how God sustains His suffering saints. It is a theologically sound and practically valuable little book." Pastor Brian Borgman, Grace Community Church, Minden, Nevada, author of Feelings and Faith (Crossway).
