About the book
This Is Not the End
It should not be this way. There are moments where life takes a turn, and we will feel this in our bones. Yet no matter how dark it gets, we hang on to a radical hope: It will not always be this way. Because Jesus is risen, death is defeated. The God who made a way is with us all the way.
For anyone wondering whether hope is still possible, this compassionate guide shows you how God is writing a story bigger than the world's despair.
This is a book for anyone who is standing at a dead end. The end of a relationship or a career. The end of hopes and dreams. The end of meaning or purpose. Maybe the end of life for a loved one. The end of yourself. Wishful thinking and an optimistic mindset can only take you so far. The myth of progress has been shattered. And the popular notion of heaven feels far off and disconnected. Is there any hope--real, true, reliable hope?
In This Is Not the End, Glenn Packiam will help you name the reality that life in a fallen world is full of endings. Some are eclipsed by the light of a new beginning; others sink into the darkness of a dead end. The worst endings are the ones where no new beginning is in sight. But there is a God who brings new beginnings out of all your endings. Even death itself will not have the last word. This Is Not the End will help you
- name the various kinds of endings in your life, even the disruptive and difficult ones;
- recognize death as your last enemy;
- gain permission to speak your doubts and voice your laments;
- discover how resurrection hope is better than heaven one day and more than comfort today;
- behold Jesus as the model and the means of your unshakeable hope; and
- learn how to live here and now, embracing the presence of God in the present, practicing resurrection in the middle, and holding on to our purpose as we wait.
Resurrection hope means that sorrow, suffering, loss, and death itself are not the end. The God who raises the dead can bring about surprising new beginnings.
