John Wyatt is Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics at University College London, and author of Matters of Life & Death: Human dilemmas in the light of the Christian Faith, and Right to Die? Euthanasia, assisted suicide and end-of-life care (both IVP). He and his wife Celia live in London and they have three grown-up sons.

A real treasure: encouraging, heart-warming, informative and sensible. It answers the concern of many Christian doctors that the will o’ the wisp of medical imperialism has led the Christian community astray into excessive medicalisation of the process of dying, to the detriment of spiritual and family matters. John Wyatt writes very practically about dying with honesty and integrity. He shows us what can be learnt from Jesus’ death and resurrection. He emphasizes the ultimate conquest of death, our ‘mysterious and dreadful enemy’. This is a book for everyone, which will change souls for the better.
