Inhale Comfort, Exhale Hope!: 10 Funeral Homilies

Death rarely comes with simple answers, for its arrival is always a bold

reminder that we live in an imperfect world. Yet there is hope found in the

Savior, and in his promise we can be certain that the limitations of this world

cannot shackle the power of God.

In the ten funeral homilies of Inhale Comfort, Exhale Hope! Mark Powell

exposes the secrets of a broken world, reminding us that in the midst of

the mess and the chaos, God's presence delivers a redeeming hope. Powell

doesn't believe that the funeral homily should ever be an attempt to lecture

or evangelize; rather, he asserts it's a time to remind the brokenhearted to

rely on solid scriptural truths found in the words of Jesus: We will not be left

orphaned. Death has no victory. We will be with the Lord forever.
