Imperishable contrasts death's emptiness with the fullness of memories of the life of the beloved, leading the reader through a world of loss, but still firmly secure in God's tender hands. Imperishable reminds us that the work and word of Christ is the most powerful response there is. Erikson's journey is a story of hope, purpose in suffering, and promises of reunion and grace.
