The End of the Christian Life, How Embracing Our Mortality Frees Us to Truly LiveWe're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says: following the crucified and resurrected Lord

We're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality--something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says: following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes. Drawing on his experience as a professor and father living with incurable cancer, Billings offers a personal yet deeply theological account of the gospel's expansive hope for small, mortal creatures. Artfully weaving rich theology with powerful narrative, Billings writes for church leaders and laypeople alike. Whether we are young or old, reeling from loss or clinging to our own prosperity, this book challenges us to walk a strange but wondrous path: in the midst of joy and lament, to receive mortal limits as a gift, an opportunity to give ourselves over to the Lord of life.

"Todd Billings knows what we want to forget: that we must come to an end. This hopeful book pours Christian language into the void of our silence about death. He seeks better language for how our mortality can be both a wonder and a tragedy, an aberration and a sign of hope. You will find no trite answers here and no condemnation of our fragility. This gentle and pastoral book offers a corrective to our culture's painful misinterpretation of mortality as a failure, and asks instead what death can truly teach us about life." Kate Bowler, author of Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved

They are quite good.

I used to take flintstone chewable vitamins ( yes I’m an adult, but I prefer chewable vitamins). I don’t like the way they get so discolored before I can use the whole bottle. Decided to try these. The formula is a bit different, but sufficient for me. I actually found I like them a lot. Yes they ate all orange flavored, but quite nice. A bit softer than the others, and smaller. I think these will be my go to vitamins now.
