Preparing for a Glorious Death

Death is one such topic. In the African culture, when you talk about death, it is as if you are foreshadowing your death and people become extremely uncomfortable to engage in a prolonged discussion about it. We must realise that death is an eventuality that each one of us will face, whether we are prepared for it or not. When something is inevitable, it does not make sense to avoid talking about it. The wise thing to do is to prepare for it.

This book will teach you how to prepare for death. It does not just address the issue of the expiration of life but also how to live well in order to die well. There are critical issues that are often not considered long before people die; things such as the writing of a will, preparing of one’s obituary, instructions on what should happen to those one is leaving behind, the kind of funeral service one would like to have. This book raises these issues and many others you may not have thought about. It would be good to discuss the book with your spouse and children, and for ministers to teach and preach on these matters to their congregations/parishes. This book is extremely important and should thus be read by as many people as possible, across the cultural divides.
