Meditations on Death: Preparing for Eternity

• Meditations on the Last 4 Things
• Death, judgment, heaven, & hell
• Contemplate your life and what you need to change
• Prepare for eternity and begin thinking now about your soul
• A mini-retreat to fix your gaze on heaven

For the Christian, the soul is immortal and there is eternal life to come after our death: heaven or hell. Our goal is heaven and nothing less. However, there is the mysterious door to eternal life which is death. The door of death is important for the Christian because of its finality. There are no more choices after death.

In this soul-jarring work, Thomas à Kempis guides the reader to consider the last four things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. One of the devil’s favorite words is tomorrow. But God’s is today. Meditations on Death is like a mini-retreat that will redirect your heart to eternal things rather than passing things. For to contemplate the hour of your death is to already have one foot in heaven.
