Today 10ofthose.com have published a new book by my old vicar, Mark Ashton. As I have already blogged, Mark died on Easter Holy Saturday from gallbladder cancer. He had known that his illness was terminal for over a year.
On My Way to Heaven is subtitled ‘facing death with Christ’ and in it Mark points to the resurrection of Christ as the place to find confidence as death approaches. Mark wrote it to help Christians facing the final stage of their earthly life and to introduce unbelievers to the hope we can have in Christ.
It’s a short book and is priced at only £1.50 or ten for £10. I’ve just ordered mine. I think it will be a useful resource for many. You can read the text in April’s edition of Evangelicals Now.

Thanks for this – we have pre sold 1100…we pray it will be of use.
Easter Saturday is the Saturday at the end of Easter week. By 3rd April, don’t you mean Holy Saturday?
I did mean Holy Saturday Lucy – thanks! You can tell I’m an Anglican who went to StAG and not somewhere more liturgical 😉
Thanks for posting about Mark Ashton. I was looking for news of Mark a short while ago, and praying for the StAG family. It must have been a week or so before his passing. Like many others, his ministry touched and influenced our future ministry.
