For They Shall Be Comforted

When grief and loss come, our souls reach for comfort. This compact volume gathers messages of hope from scripture, latter-day prophets, poets, and thinkers to answer the aching question "Why?" and to illuminate the plan of salvation—premortal life, earth life, death, the spirit world, and the resurrection. Arranged in six themed chapters, it reassures readers that death is not the end but a doorway, and that loved ones are not lost but waiting. A gentle companion for the bereaved and a resource for those offering comfort.

• A ready-made source of comfort quotes for anyone giving a funeral or graveside talk.
• Answers the hardest question grief asks—"Why?"—with the voices of prophets and poets alike.
• A thoughtful, non-intrusive sympathy gift that keeps giving comfort long after the funeral flowers fade.
• Traces the full plan of salvation from premortal life to resurrection, reframing death as a doorway, not an ending.

“We picture death as coming to destroy; let us rather picture Christ as coming to save. We think of death as ending; let us rather think of life as beginning, and that more abundantly.”

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint who has recently lost a loved one, or someone ministering to and comforting the bereaved.
