“It has become conventional to think as if we are all going to live in this world forever and to view every bereavement as a reason for doubting the goodness of God. We must all deep down know that this is ridiculous, but we do it all the same. And in doing it we part company with the Bible, with historic Christianity, and with a basic principle of right living, namely that only when you know how to die can you know how to live.”

- JI Packer
