"""'Funerals are about hope' Harold Lewis writes in the introduction to this collection of funeral sermons. Poignant and instructive, with a mixture of wit, history, and solid theology, this compilation of sermons is a gift to the homiletic practitioner, expert and novice alike, who seeks to celebrate the life and faith of the deceased and convey to the bereaved why in the midst of death we can and do still have a living hope."" --Debra Q. Bennett, Rector Church of Our Saviour, Akron, Ohio ""Although I did not personally know any of the individuals whose lives are memorialized in these funeral sermons, I feel as though I have somehow made their acquaintance because of the vivid portraits Harold Lewis has painted. . . . Lewis does more than celebrate who these people were in earthly life. Again and again, he movingly affirms their, and indeed our own, mysterious participation in the eternal life of God."" --Joseph Downing Thompson, Jr., Virginia Theological Seminary"
