Every minister hears these words. And in that moment, when grief is raw and a family looks to you for guidance, what do you say?
In Eulogy: Remembering a Life with God's Good Word, pastor Tony Tench draws on more than forty years of ministry to offer a warm, practical, and deeply biblical guide to one of ministry's most sacred responsibilities: the funeral sermon.
The word eulogy comes from the Greek for "good word." Tench shows pastors how to find that good word rising from a family's tearful memories. Along the way, he shares the unforgettable stories of saints who faced their final days with a joy that could only come from the Resurrection.
Eulogy walks readers through every stage of the pastoral journey, from preparing your heart before the call comes, to sitting with a grieving family, to ministering all the way to the graveside. For pastors, seminary students, and ministry leaders who want to honor the dead, comfort the living, and proclaim the gospel, this is a trusted companion.
"Folks made in the image of God deserve a 'good word' at the time of their funeral."
Tony Tench served forty years in pastoral ministry in Kentucky and North Carolina, and nearly six years as a missionary in Malawi. He and his wife Janet have spent their lives offering God's good word in every season of grief and grace.
