This practical handbook is designed to show you how to understand the meaning and purpose of the funeral and how to preach sensitive, healing funeral sermons. After many years as a chaplain who works with dying and mourning people, Kent D. Richmond offers a theological framework for the funeral and sensitively explains the psychological dynamics of each funeral setting. A Time to Die offers a wealth of information on building funeral sermons. More than half the book contains sample sermons for many different types of funerals, including funerals for a suicide, a child, a young parent, a person with a handicapping condition, and the "unchurched." The handbook also includes much additional sermon-enrichment material: annotations on Bible passages, appropriate commentaries, and helpful illustrations from other books. "ATime to Die is exactly the book I wish I could have had when I was a young pastor, utterly unprepared to deal with death or grief, the mortician, the grave, and, least of all, the sermons I had to preach at funeral services. I will earnestly recommend this book to my students." 252.1 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 252.1 Ric t E10000735 Non Fiction 252.1 Ric t Time_to_Die_A_hanbook_for_funeral_sermons.jpg 63412 2014-12-16 15:31:32 2025-10-21 17:40:13 machine generated
