Book Description
With the sensitivity born of time and experience, Charles Hoffacker presents an unusually warm and caring approach to preaching at a pivotal transition in human life, one which goes to the very heart of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Hoffacker teaches the reader, whether a seasoned preacher or a novice homilist, to find the key to unlocking the mystery of Jesus’ promise of eternal life in a mortal life now ended.
Editorial Reviews
Review
On the one hand, this is simply a helpful book for clergy to read. Further, however, it is a good book to own for those frequent times when a funeral sermon must be crafted on short notice and a sound ‘how to’ model would be valuable.
