Christian resources for living well in the light of mortality

10 reflection cards. As a society we aren’t good at talking about death, and as individuals we may try and avoid thinking about it. But death is part of life, and we must all face it eventually. For Christians, dying and death are not the end but a transition point in a story that continues. Reflecting well on our own mortality can help us to make peace with the prospect of death and to live more fully in the here and now.
These cards show us how. They can be used for personal reflection, prayer or in discussion with others.
