Roy C. Moffett lectures throughout the United States on healing after loss, pain, and suffering, finding deliverance from hurt, and developing strength. Moffett is the founder and Pastor of Koinonia Ministries in Decatur, GA. He also serves as a chaplain for one of the largest, family-owned funeral homes in the southeast-Gregory B. Levett and Sons. Rev. Moffett is also the author of Grow-A 21-day consecration for Holiness and Funeral Services--A Practical Approach.

Initially, this book served as a guidebook for fasting during Lent. Later, I added a week of messages to prepare readers for Easter. I continued writing for another two weeks and invited Pastor Charles Nesbit of the Providence Baptist Church of College Park to contribute. Later, I invited two more great preachers, Pastors Randy L. Glover and Harold Miller, to contribute their thoughts.

This work initially targeted the people of Koinonia, but it has now spread to others in the body of Christ.

With nearly thirty years of experience in Funeral Service, I worked for Gregory B. Levett & Sons, where I started helping new hires by showing them the proper way to do specific tasks. I learned how to make removals for Willie A. Watkins, worked removals for Dekalb County Medical Examiners, and participated in the funerals of dignitaries, among other things. Drawing on this experience and incorporating it with my skills as a pastor, I created a book that provides guidance on providing dignified and professional services to families and the deceased.

The book has been well-received, and with the help of Lanier Levett, it has been used to teach across the State of Georgia. Thanks to the annual conference Beyond Dreaming, which is sponsored by GBL Family Foundation, the book is now used by funeral homes nationwide as a training manual, covering topics such as Removal Crew, Hearse Attendance, Directors, and High Profile funerals.

After 31 years in Funeral Services, seven years as Fulton County County Chaplin under the late Howard W. Creecy, Jr, and pastoring 36 years, I have had to minister to innumerable families who’ve lost loved ones from everything suicide, murder, auto accidents, a pandemic. You name it, I’ve been there. So when my sister-in-law Jacinda Holly-Davis lost her mom, I went from talking to writing weekly to help her through that time. That writing led to this book on handling death.

Whether family, friends, sickness, unexpected, whatever, I have tried vehemently, either from the pulpit or through this written word, to help those who mourn find comfort.

I try to share the biblical way to handle “THIS”.
