I blogged about it a little here: http://awonderfulprovidence.blogspot....
Very much what I'd hoped it would be when Ben read us excerpts during one of his sermons on death. Reflecting on his first wife's death and his dissertation work on the Puritans, Hartman considers ways that Christians, particularly families, can live toward the reality of death joyfully, in ways that portray God's grace and glory to the watching world.
Included in the Appendix is William Perkins' 1616 treatise, The Right Manner of Dying Well, which is very remarkable in its own right, with especially wonderful content on the Christian's bodily and spiritual union with Christ (and some interesting bits on the benefits of medical care).

If I could only recommend one book to Christian parents, I believe this would be it.

This might be the best book I've read on marriage and family as a means of growing in Christ and preparing to die well.
