About this audiobook
Everyone’s greatest fear, it’s safe to say that death truly is the “King of all terrors.” But in this sermon preached at St. Paul’s Cathedral of London in 1910, Henry Scott Holland seeks to dismantle the unspeakable terror surrounding death. This poetic and touching speech describes death as merely a brief accident, with no power to sever relationships. It offers enduring comfort to those suffering the painful loss
of a loved one.
