It would be difficult to find a more beautiful exemplification of the sustaining, comforting, and transporting, influence of Christian faith, than that which is afforded by the closing scene of Dr. Gordon slife. The science which he loved, the exalted reputation he had earned, the numerous friends he had won, although duly appreciated, were not regarded by him as forming any part of that foundation on which he reposed his hope, or from which he derived his consolations in a dying hour. Everything was overshadowed by the cross, and it was the luminous and sole object on which his gaze was intently fixed.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the deeply personal narrative of a man's struggle with Christianity and his transformation from doubt to profound faith in the face of his own mortality. The author, a close friend and confidant of the man, records with painstaking accuracy the conversations and reflections that took place during the man's final weeks. The book explores not only his struggle with the concept of materialism, but also his growing conviction of the necessity of a personal savior in the face of his own imminent demise. The accounts provided in this book challenge the reader to interrogate their own relationship with Christianity, and to consider the ways in which one's personal experiences and beliefs affect their response to death.
