Table of ContentsReviewsConcerned with the death of biblical fluency, on the one hand, and the death of her patients, on the other, Witty offers a long overdue intervention, urging and modeling an approach that attends to individual patient needs and the ever-present need to receive guidance from Holy Scripture, especially in our transitions from this life to the next. Now more than ever, especially after COVID-19, Witty's commendation of 'Individualized Scripture Plans' offers a way for Christian chaplains to be truly Christian--explicit brokers of the sacred--in order to help believers die well and rest in peace. Witty demonstrates that Scripture can and does make a difference at such moments. Chaplains who read Witty's book will never be the same; moreover, chaplaincy writ large should be different, and better, following the publication of this important book. --Brent A. Strawn, Duke University Peace Be with You, Rest in Peace makes a fine contribution to a crucial dimension of hospital chaplaincy. The re-appropriation of Christian Scripture in the process of ministry to the dying is a welcome development. --Don E.
