To Conquer Death: Seeing Beyond the Darkness<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cExcellent, clear, insightful, and telling.\u201d
\n\u2014 Bill Watkins, author of The New Absolutes<\/em><\/p>\n

To Conquer Death<\/em> tells the story of two amazing people who had to face death\u2014and they won.<\/p>\n

Corey\u2019s wife, Tierre, grappled with the abortion issue\u2014and became a true hero.
>Corey\u2019s friend Peter battled with God when he found out he had cancer\u2014and crossed the finish line with his hands raised to heaven.<\/p>\n

But the book is more than two powerful stories. It is a magnificent philosophical, theological, and emotional exploration of why death is in our world and what God is doing about it. Written from real reflections across roughly twenty years of the author\u2019s life, it takes the cry of the heart\u2014\u201cIf God is good, why is there death and suffering?\u201d\u2014and answers it not only for the mind but for the soul.<\/p>\n

Corey Piper shows that the Bible\u2019s account of creation, the fall, and redemption is not abstract theology. It supplies the only foundation that makes sense of the gospel. If God originally intended death and sin as normal features of the world, why would Christ need to conquer them?<\/p>\n

Sin still holds sway, so life remains hard. Yet the permanent solution begins in the heart the moment we believe. To Conquer Death<\/em> wraps theology in reality for anyone who has asked the hard questions and wants an answer that satisfies both intellect and longing.<\/p>\n
