Taken from the Foreword of Departing in Peace: Biblical Decision-Making at the End of Life "Death, even for a Christian, tends to be something of a mystery. That’s the case on a number of fronts. The departure of our souls from our bodies and all that’s associated with breathing our last—well, let’s just say that it can be a bit “spooky.” The medical decisions that we’re called on to make can border on the heartless. And the high cost of dying can leave surviving families surprised, embarrassed, and sometimes broke. And it all comes at you so fast that you’re bound to ask, “Why didn’t someone warn me?” Well, here is that warning. But it comes at you here in gentle, helpful terms. Dr. Bill Davis’s bedside manner is one that you will cherish the rest of your life. This isn’t primarily a step-by-step manual to equip you to deal with doctors, lawyers, and undertakers. It comes instead from the very practical mind of a philosophy professor who is gifted in helping his students take basic principles and apply them to the hard issues of life. And always, Professor Davis insists that those basic principles be thoughtfully and helpfully anchored in the great themes of Scripture. Sooner or later, you’re likely to find yourself helping to look after the affairs of a loved one who is close to death or who may even have just died. Or you may be trying to order your own affairs to make things easier for those who must look after you. In either case, you will thank Bill Davis for helping you work so thoughtfully through such important matters." — Joel Belz, Founder, WORLD magazine
