BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE (PREPARING FOR A GOOD DEATH)
By Ray Simpson
Harper Collins. 227pages. £9.99
ISBN O OO 711939 9

Ray Simpson is the guardian of the Community of Aidan and Hilda and lives on the island (Holy Island) of Lindisfarne.

The book has limited value for the evangelical Christian though some of its contents could be used pastorally to encourage people to make practical preparations for their death. For example, thinking of what might be said to loved ones or leaving lists of where to find various documents (insurance policies, certificates, bank or building society details, etc.), to avoid the hassle that can so easily accompany a bereavement.
