Book Description<\/h2>\n

‘Concern for the present life has over-powered that for the life to come’. So writes Paul Helm in the Introduction to this timely study of the four ‘last things’: death, judgment, heaven and hell. His purpose is ‘not to speculate, or sentimentalise, but to state as sharply and starkly as possible the plain facts of the matter as Scripture portrays them’.<\/p>\n

Paul Helm writes with careful thought and serious purpose, but also with the humility and sensitivity of a Christian convinced that we must follow God’s word wherever it leads, and no further.<\/p>\n

The Last Things<\/em> not only clarifies our view of the future-it also provides a fresher, clearer perspective on the present life.<\/p>\n

The Last Things<\/em> completes Paul Helm’s trilogy on the Christian life, which includes The Beginnings<\/em> and The Callings<\/em>, also published by the Trust.<\/p>\n
