Between Life and Death: A Gospel-Centered Guide to End-of-Life Medical Care

by Kathryn Butler, M.D.

Modern medical advances save countless lives. But for all their merits, sophisticated technologies have created a daunting new challenge, namely a blurring of the expanse between life and death. The dying process is often hidden behind a complex web of medical terminology, statistics, and ethical decisions, making it difficult for patients and loved ones to know how to approach the end of life in a dignity-affirming, God-honoring, faith-filled way.

This book offers a distinctly Christian guide to end-of-life care. It equips listeners by explaining common medical jargon, exploring biblical principles that connect to common medical situations, and offering guidance for making critical decisions. In this book, listeners will find the medical knowledge and scriptural wisdom they need to navigate this painful and confusing process with clarity, peace, and discernment.
