What Happens after Death? - Basics of the Faith Series (Phillips)
Death is real, and its reality hurts us. Yet our journey does not end when we breathe our last on earth. How do we as Christians come to grips with death? What can we expect afterward?
An Army officer turned pastor, Richard Phillips is familiar with death and able to tackle this difficult topic with clarity and care. After describing the proper response to death modeled by Jesus and noted Christians, he provides a biblically faithful explanation of what we can expect in the actual experience of death, the final judgment, and our eternal state.
Basics of the Faith booklets introduce readers to basic Reformed doctrine and practice. On issues of church government and practice they reflect that framework—otherwise they are suitable for all church situations.
