To conduct Gospel-centered funerals

Practical Shepherding Series.

Applying the Gospel to the unique challenges caused by death.

The phone rings: "Pastor, could you officiate my mother's funeral?" or, "Please help us, our baby just died." Death arrives unexpectedly, giving us two to three days to prepare a sermon while caring for a grieving family. This helpful book will guide the pastor through the logistics of funeral services, burials, and working with funeral homes using Planning, Preparation, Preaching, and Execution. It shows how to magnify Christ and the Gospel amidst all the details, demands, and pain surrounding the death of a loved one.

The Practical Shepherding book series provides pastors and ministry leaders with practical advice and help for carrying out pastoral work within the local church.

In Gospel-Centered Funeral Leadership, experienced pastors Brian Croft and Phil A. Newton offer readers a concise guide to leading funerals that glorify God and offer a timely message of hope.
