Death Is Not Dying


I saw the following posted over at Tom Ascol's sight. Take the time to watch the video. It's worth it.


If you have not seen this video of a talk given by Rachel Barkley then I encourage you to stop reading and watch it now. Rachel is a wife and mother who is dying of cancer. She talks about her life and impending death to a group of ladies in Vancouver. It is a compelling case for the gospel and the sufficiency of God's grace in His Son, Jesus Christ.

John Wesley said, "Our people die well." Indeed, how a person thinks about and faces death is a testimony to his or her faith. As her recommended book list testifies, Rachel Barkley has been helped to face
terminal cancer by sitting at the feet of some of the Lord's most faithful teachers through reading.


Watch the video. Then encourage others to do so, as well. And pray for Rachel and her husband Neil, and their children, Quinn and Kate.

Absolutely convicting and moving. I'm sharing it with my Bible study and posting it on my blog. Thanks so much Todd.
