The latter half includes a memorial sermon both for a friend of his and for Christians who have died generally. Taylor's work has received praise not just for its devotional merit, but also for the delicate musicality of its prose. This book is the second volume in a two-volume devotional set. quoted from Christian Classics Ethereal Library online.
