"By Edward A Hartman. The concept of dying well hasbeen very real to Ed Hartman since August 1995. Hartman was studying at Westminster Theological Seminary, California and had just discovered a treatise by the Puritan author William Perkins on the ""Right Manner of Dying Well."" This discovery was no accident, as it was a matter of minutes later thatEd discovered that his wife, the mother of their four children, was not at all well. Amy Hartman wasdiagnosed with a brain tumor, which after six months of much prayer, and great heartache, proved tobe terminal. With this traumatic experience behind him, Hartman deals with the topic of preparing your life, and the life of those you love, for death in a practical and thoroughly Christ-centered manner. Hartman looks at our most important relationships, with God, with our spouses, with our familyand with those around us. He shares with us the advice of Perkins and other Puritans who lived in atime that had a much healthier attitude towards,and much closer relationship with death."
