• Accompany Them with Singing--The Christian Funeral

    Thomas G. Long, one of America's most trusted and thoughtful pulpit voices, provides a much needed theological and cultural critique of today's Christian funeral. Long begins by describing how the Christian funeral developed historically, theologically, and liturgically and then discusses recent cultural trends in funeral practices, including the rise in number of cremations and memorial services. He describes the basic pattern for a funeral service, details options in funeral planning, identifies characteristics of a "good funeral," and provides thoughtful guidance for preaching at a funeral....

  • The Christian's Labor and Reward: A Sermon Preached at the Funeral of the Right Honorable Lady Mary Vere, January 10, 1671

    The Christian's Labor and Reward is here reprinted with The Civil Magistrate's Portrait Drawn from the Word. The two works are the only two other ones ever published by this beloved author, best known for his Chistian in Complete Armour, pubished by the Banner of Truth. In the first work he shows that God asks so very little of us and rewards us so greatly in comparison. The second work is a biblical picture of a godly civil servant, and what we should expect from our leaders. Both of these works are immensely practical and relevant!

  • 52 Funeral Sermons (Pulpit Outlines Book 3)

    Dear Fellow Preacher,For most of us, one of the most rewarding, yet difficult tasks, is preparing messages to preach and teach.

And if you're like me, you prefer writing your own sermons, because you have a special connection with your congregation that is hard to reach through a message someone else has written. In other words, no one knows your people like you do!But what if you could start with a prepa... [Read More]

The goal of this book is to provide resource material for a setting that has so much potential for ministry. - From the Preface.
