Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller, a book about facing the death of loved ones, as well as our own inevitable death

Significant events such as birth, marriage, and death are milestones in our lives in which we experience our greatest happiness and our deepest grief. And so it is profoundly important to understand how to approach and experience these occasions with grace, endurance, and joy.

In a culture that does its best to deny death, Timothy Keller--theologian and bestselling author--teaches us about facing death with the resources of faith from the Bible. With wisdom and compassion, Keller finds in the Bible an alternative to both despair or denial.

A short, powerful book, On Death gives us the tools to understand the meaning of death within God's vision of life.

Another book where Keller is at his best. This part stood out to me: "Many people are unaware of the condemnation that has been pronounced over them, or else they are unacquainted with its magnitude, except perhaps for a nagging sense of unease. When facing death, however, our enemy allows us to see......more

Ordered it the night he went home on hospice the day before he died. Quick and very helpful (and hopeful) read that I’m sure I’ll re-read again!......more

Goodreads review by Cassandra on November 06, 2022

A couple of months, my church Covenant Group decided that this was the book they would pick up together for the next few months. Written as the final part of the "How to find God" series (the first two being "On Birth" and "On Marriage"), "On Death" deals with the nature of death, how humanity has so......more

Goodreads review by Alex on March 22, 2020

A fitting book in our current time of unprecedented unknowns, Keller provides the biblical path to facing death with hope, not avoiding it like our culture is wont to do. I loved his breakdown of Jesus's responses to death: that he was angry, even raging, at the death of his friend Lazarus; and yet,......more
