Sharing Christ With the Dying: Bringing Hope to Those Near the End of Life

A Loving and Compassionate Guide to Talking With Your Family and Friends About Jesus

Melody Rossi saw God work in the hearts of three close family members after she had nearly given up hope that they might believe before dying. As their hearts softened to the gospel message she witnessed their spiritual births.

These experiences inspired Melody to write this practical book filled with hope, joy, and wisdom. When your friend or family member is facing death, here is the help you need to share Christ in loving, non confrontational ways. It will show you how to

; Serve in ways that speak louder than words,

Respond to signs of spiritual openness;

Discuss matters of eternal importance;

Cope with the ups and downs of this difficult time

In addition, it offers you spiritual care, answering your questions about end-of-life issues, and addressing your grief and loss.

This book offers suggestions on how to serve the person who is dying as well as cautions readers on ways to avoid burnout, and also gives readers a look into what they might expect as the time of death draws near. This is a great resource book for someone who is dying or are just looking for information on how to minister to those who are at the end of life.  I found the book helpful, encouraging, and supportive though not a lot about sharing the scriptures with the dying. I expected to read about sharing the gospel with someone who was dying I was not looking for a book on hospice care. I think it is a great resource book but maybe not titled accurately.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
