Produktbeschreibung

The Rev. Richard T. Middleton III shares some of his most memorable eulogies and homilies that he delivered as an Episcopal priest in Mississippi in this collection. In a homily honoring Claude Rashad McCants, a young man from Jackson, Mississippi, who was senselessly murdered, he said, "The first thing I believe is that God did not will for this to happen. The Ten Commandments clearly state that God does not favor murder. I don't believe that God ever encourages any of his children to commit murder. When this tragedy happened, God's heart was the first heart to break." In paying tribute to Lula Belle Forte, the mother of a childhood friend, he said, "Brother may die, sister may die, aunt may die, grandma may die, wife may die, husband will almost surely die, but no death is felt like Mama's death. And that's because there just isn't anybody else on earth like our mother." Whether you've lost a loved one, serve as a minister, or work in hospice care, funeral service or a related field, you'll be inspired by this collection of memories of remarkable and influential people.
