Our People Die Well

by Joseph D. McPherson

From his study of early Methodist literature, McPherson has gathered and included in this book more than one hundred accounts of those who, while departing this life of pain and sorrow, gave glorious expression of their approach and entrance into the Savior’s presence.

“Joseph D. McPherson makes the dying testimonies of early Methodists accessible to today’s readers, providing witness to the experiential reality of the doctrines preached in early Methodism. This well-written book promises to serve a valuable contribution toward a contemporary appreciation of our Methodist heritage.”
—Dr. Randall McElwain, Ed.D., missionary, educator, musician, and Charles Wesley scholar

“The true and historical accounts shared by this author show us that in the time of death we can be supported by such a sure foundation of faith and close communion with God that death proves to be a blessed entrance into abundant life and glory.”
—Dr. R. Duane Thompson, Ph.D., one-time chairman of the Division of Religion and Philosophy at Indiana Wesleyan University
