In this well-researched and pastorally sensitive book, Rob Moll explores the Christian practice of dying well, giving guidance for those who care for the dying as well as for those who grieve.

Review Quotes
"I have never known another man like Rob Moll. His example as a husband, father, and editor inspired me to do what Jesus expected of me in those roles. He and his wife, Clarissa, have brought joy, hope, and friendship to my wife and me among many others. We will grieve the loss of Rob for the rest of our lives, until we see him again before the throne of God. I'm grateful that Rob still speaks to us through his typically mature reflections in The Art of Dying. And I'm eager for more readers to hear in this new edition from Clarissa, a gifted and dedicated writer herself. You and I don't know what tomorrow holds. But we know our Savior invites us to prepare for death, which we need not fear, because we belong to him, body and soul."
