Clinical Nurse Specialist in Palliative Care
Every day of my working life I meet people who are facing their own death or that of someone they love. Sadly, without a robust worldview to support them, many perceive the suffering associated with dying as entirely futile or live in denial, placing their confidence in things that cannot save them.
In this straightforward little book, Vaughan Roberts correctly, clearly and compassionately identifies many of the issues pressing people towards supporting a change in the law around assisted suicide. He also makes a compelling case for vehemently opposing such a change. He writes, “More than anyone else, Christians should be able to think and speak about death and dying with hope, confidence, meaning and purpose.” I urge you to give half an hour to reading it and then to ponder all that the gospel has to offer to those who might struggle with this issue – even you.
