Why the Church Shuns Death: The Only Enemy Yet to Be Defeated
In this sobering yet tender book, Ampofo confronts the Church's avoidance of death—both theologically and pastorally. While the New Testament calls death the "last enemy," many modern churches, especially in charismatic circles, deny its presence with shallow confessions, triumphalism, or silence. This book argues that such denial leaves believers unprepared when grief hits. Through chapters on mourning, theology, cultural avoidance, and resurrection hope, Ampofo challenges churches to teach about death not just as a defeated foe, but as a present reality. He encourages deeper comfort, theological honesty, and emotional presence in the face of loss. Drawing on scripture and experience, he calls pastors to speak more courageously, and believers to prepare not just to live well, but to die well—in faith, not fear.
