John Shower’s The Mourners Companion: Or, Funeral Discourses on Several Texts is a deeply pastoral and scripturally rich collection of funeral sermons, offering comfort and conviction to those grieving the loss of loved ones.
约翰·肖尔（John Shower）的《哀悼者之伴》或《关于若干经文的葬礼讲道》是一部富有牧养心肠和丰富圣经内容的葬礼讲道集，为失去亲人的人们带来了安慰与信念。
With the heart of a shepherd and the mind of a theologian, Shower calls mourners to lift their eyes beyond the grave to the eternal realities of heaven and the sovereignty of God in affliction.
肖尔以牧人的心怀和神学家的思维呼召哀悼者抬头仰望坟墓之外，关注天国的永恒真实以及上帝在苦难中的主权。
Rooted in the biblical truth that death is not the end but a transition to eternity, he exhorts readers to use their sorrow as a means of spiritual reflection and preparation for their own final hour.
他扎根于这样一个圣经真理：死亡不是结束，而是通向永恒的转变，劝勉读者将自己的悲伤作为灵性反思和为自己最后时刻的准备的手段。
Shower masterfully weaves together the doctrine of God’s providence, the hope of the resurrection, and the necessity of a Christ-centered life, showing that grief, rightly understood, should drive us closer to Christ rather than into despair.
肖尔精妙地将上帝的护理、复活的希望以及以基督为中心的生活的必要性交织在一起，表明悲伤在正确理解的情况下，应该使我们更接近基督，而不是陷入绝望。
What makes The Mourners Companion particularly powerful is its uncompromising blend of consolation and exhortation.
《哀悼者之伴》之所以特别有力在于其无所不包的安慰与劝勉的结合。
Shower does not merely offer words of comfort; he presses upon the reader the weight of eternity, urging all who hear these discourses to consider their own spiritual condition.
肖尔不仅仅提供安慰的话语；他向读者传递永恒的分量，敦促所有听闻这些讲道的人考虑自己的灵性状况。
He speaks with piercing clarity about the dangers of presuming upon life, the fleeting nature of earthly joys, and the inescapable reality of judgment.
他清晰而犀利地讲述了对生命的假设、世俗快乐的短暂本质和审判的不可避免的现实所带来的危险。
His sermons are filled with pastoral warmth, theological precision, and a deep burden for souls, making this book a much-needed resource for those who are walking through the valley of grief or ministering to the bereaved.
他的讲道充满了牧养的温暖、神学的精准与对灵魂的深切负担，使本书成为那些走过悲伤之谷或在安慰失去至亲之人中十分需求的资源。
If you long for biblical, Christ-centered comfort that does not shy away from the realities of sin, death, and eternity, The Mourners Companion will strengthen your faith and point you to the only true hope in life and death—Jesus Christ.
如果你渴望那种不回避罪恶、死亡和永恒现实的圣经式、以基督为中心的安慰，《哀悼者之伴》将强化你的信仰，并指引你至生命与死亡中唯一真确的希望——耶稣基督。
