Death teaches us how to live. When Whitney K. Pipkin's mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she wasn't ready. How could she be? She searched for resources that could help her walk through this heavy yet sacred time in her life. But she struggled to find the guidance she longed for in a season of anticipatory grief. We Shall All Be Changed is a companion for those experiencing the lonely season of suffering and death. In this book, Whitney reaches across the pages to hold the hand of the caregiver. Walking through death with a loved one can be incredibly isolating and unsettling. This book reminds us that we can experience God's very presence in life's dark and deep valleys. As Whitney draws from her own experience, she sheds light and hope. She shows that we are not alone. And she reveals the mysterious way that God ministers to and transforms us through death and suffering. Beautifully honest and theologically rich, Whitney invites us to consider death so that we might understand life and how to live it. Rather than wanting to run from discussions of death—as I did for so long—I now want to press into them, to wring from one of the hardest trials life has to offer every drop of sanctification and glory. I see now that having a front seat to my mom's final days has forever changed the ones I have left to live. —Whitney Pipkin A book for those who are caring for the sick and dying . . . for those who will care for parents, family, or friends in their last days . . . and for those who have already walked this journey. This book is for us.

"In prose at turns poignant, profound, and achingly beautiful, We Shall All Be Changed offers the grieving and the weary a cool cup of water. Much ink has been spilled on death and grief, but seldom do such treatises combine the vulnerability, candor, and theological rigor of Pipkin's work. She expertly weaves personal experience with careful research and biblical insight to guide the hurting on a journey toward hope and healing—on a journey toward the solace that only a Savior acquainted with grief can bring. While intended for those facing death and loss, readers in all seasons of life will benefit from the wisdom and theological riches in these pages." KATHRYN BUTLER, author of Between Life and Death, Glimmers of Grace, and The Dream Keeper Saga
