The Funeral Sourcebook

“Weep with them that weep.”-Romans 12:15Attending to those in grief and mourning is a critical duty of any member of the clergy. Unfortunately, many church leaders feel poorly equipped to minister effectively to those in their darkest hour. Bible teacher Dr. Herbert Lockyer has provided this comprehensive source book of sermons, Scripture passages, prayers, and poems, as well as a guide to proper etiquette and manner, enabling any pastor to better carry the gospel of consolation to the distressed and brokenhearted in their time of great sorrow. About the Author DR. HERBERT LOCKYER (1886-1984) was a preacher and Bible teacher, and the author of more than fifty books. His best-known titles include All the Men of the Bible and All the Women of the Bible. Dr. Lockyer held pastorates in Scotland and England for twenty-five years. As pastor of Leeds Road Baptist Church in Bradford, England, he became a leader in the Keswick Higher Life Movement, which emphasized the significance of living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This led to an invitation to speak at the Moody Bible Institute’s fiftieth anniversary in 1936. His warm reception at that event led to his ministry in the United States. He received honorary degrees from both the Northwestern Evangelical Seminary and the International Academy in London.
