CONDUCT GOSPEL-CENTRED FUNERALS
Applying the gospel at the challenges of death
By Brian Croft and Phil A. Newton. Day One. 106 pages £5.00
ISBN 978 1 846 252 662

This book is a warm-hearted, Christ-centred, thoughtful and theologically aware guide for the conduct of funerals.

It is written by two pastors who have clear evangelistic zeal and love for people in distress, and who are exemplary in their desire to be both faithful to the gospel and sensitive to the delicate occasion. It also aims to be very practical, offering help for before and after the service, and has an appendix with several actual examples of funeral sermons for different occasions.
