The Broken Home: Lessons in Sorrow

On this side of the fall of Adam, death is inevitable. Yet inevitability does not make the death of a child or spouse or parent any easier. The apostle Paul joyously affirmed that death was gain for the believer in Jesus. He also recognized that to lose a loved one filled the heart with sorrow upon sorrow. Through these meditations on the deaths of his family members, Benjamin Morgan Palmer, a pastor par excellence, comforts the broken-hearted and helps the reader grieve with a firmer hope in the gospel of Jesus.
