For the past 1800 years, Christendom has played a major role - a disastrous role - in 'rites of passage'. David Gay, having written on this as far as baby sprinkling at birth is concerned, now turns his attention to the end of life. Moved by the recent death and last rites afforded to Professor Stephen Hawking by the Church of England, Gay publishes this booklet on Christendom's fatal role in such obsequies, casting his net far wider than the Anglican Church. Although this small work will not make comfortable reading, it carries a big and important message. And while it issues a clear warning, it also sets out the only hope for sinners; namely, trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work.A free audiobook of the author reading this work can be found at davidhjgay.com
