Dying, Death & Destiny: A Book of Hope

by Herbert Lockyer

Overview

Too often, the somber inevitability of death and dying is something we push into the background of our everyday thoughts and actions—until it becomes something we can no longer avoid.
Because death will touch the life of everyone, it is essential that we, as believers, possess the full confidence that when we and our loved ones meet this final reality, it is without fear or doubt of the life that awaits us beyond the grave.
Best-selling author Dr. Herbert Lockyer has provided this valuable resource to provide eternal assurance to comfort the Christian and a message of hope for those who have not yet called on the name of Jesus Christ as their Savior.
As believers, we need not fear death. Thanks to the victory that Jesus won on the cross, death is not a leap in the dark or a gateway into the great unknown but a quick journey home to Christ, whose glorified body will be the pattern for our new, deathless bodies.

About the Author

DR. HERBERT LOCKYER (1886–1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include All the Men of the Bible and All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute’s fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
