Spirituality Books

Vince writes straight out of his own personal life. His raw and authentic approach is full of personal struggles, questions, and triumphs. The book is littered with funny stories and jokes and some not so funny. You won't regret reading this book.

Changed my outlook on a faith that I had lost faith in...:)

Completely agree with the other reviewer comparing it to a B-12 Shot for the soul. I feel that God has used this book to jump start the healing of my own brokenness from the church and from God, who i believe now more than I ever have, wants to be apart of and repair the messy sides of our lives. I became a Christian's Author truly showed (or reminded us) Christ's call for his followers to be compassionate and loving to the broken. Something I think we all need to practice and preach.

I bought the book on a Saturday and finshed reading it on Monday. It was like a shot of B-12 for the soul! Vince takes the simple gospel of Jesus Christ and actually keeps it simple. He really helps the reader understand the challenge to "follow" Jesus. I am buying more copies to give to friends and family.

Thank you, Vince. I think that everyone can relate to this book. I personally like Vince's life mixed in with his message. It made it very meaningful to me. I look forward to his next book and wish he lived closer!

I have read a few books by famous christian authors. At the end I was disappointed because they went on and on and never seemed to get to the point. The only disappointment I had with this book was that it was over. I hope the author is working on another!

I was skeptical about starting this book, because most of the saints' writings I have read have been very theological or spiritual in nature, basically above my head. This one is practical and easy to follow. It makes sense for an everyday person who is just trying to grow closer to God. It applies to each individual no matter what your vocation or job and is specifically directed at those who are NOT priests or religious (although they probably would benefit, as well). This is a classic! A winner that will be read and re-read for years to come!

Although written so long ago, it really is wonderful for our day and age today! Very practical advise and food for thought in an easy to read style. There is so much to gain from reading this book, written for everyone.

This is an astoundingly helpful book. St. Francis de Sales manages to give all the benefit that you can reap from a spiritual guidance book. In one of the first chapters, he recommends finding an actual spiritual director- best advice. In conjunction with doing so, this is one of the most wonderful little treasures I have come across. It pertains to all people, of all states, too. I have other books- Divine Intimacy, Words of Love, Divine Mercy in My Soul, School of Jesus Crucified... each is priceless. But this little book is especially good- St. Francis speaks so simply, clearly and beautifully, and it is set up that one can easily pick it up and turn to the subject/chapter that he wants particular counsel on right away. This can help you advance quickly in the spiritual life, with confidence and love!

This classic is a wealth of insight and advice for nurturing a devout life. It predates and foreshadows the call for all to be saints at Vatican II and by faithful like Pope John Paul II and Saint Josemaria Escriva to sanctify the ordinary. This is a powerful and profitable book for our times from the great evangelist who won many back to the Catholic faith from the Protestant reformation. For the historical value as a classic it is well worth reading but as a practical devotional toward a truly devout life even today, it is a priceless treasure of the faith.

I sought out this book on the advice of a priest and was not expecting the book to as useful as it was! I was immediately drawn into the book as it explained how a devotional life can be integrated into any state of life. I especially was thankful of the effort de Sales puts into explaining what is proper for one to do according to their vocation in life. Though I am Catholic, a Pentecostal friend once asked if Christians can meditate and immediately lent her this book and she has come back to me with many questions on the meaning of certain words, but has otherwise been very glad to read the book!

This book can be easily recommended to anyone seeking a deeper prayer life; young or old, priest or layman, Catholic or Pentecostal.

Finally a no nonsense book on just how much discipline is needed to live a life based on spiritual principles that enable one to break through the self created obstacles of the human mind and link up to the source of love.
Dr. Shahmardaan has offered a brilliant book for the benefit of humanity.

Exceed your self-imposed limitations with intention and the intuitive insight of, 'The Journey of Life Eternal." An excellent guide. Wise and powerful words from Dr. Bahram Shahmardaan; a masterful teacher who lives the journey. Pay mindful attention to the 7 Spiritual Principles. Highly recommended!

Many Scriptures have described the realization of one's true identity as the first step to communicating with the All Pervasive Divine Being that is within us all. Unfortunately, most Scriptures do not clearly explain how to get in touch with our Real Self. A lot is left to devotion if not blind faith.

This book identifies the Principles we need to live by and explains how we can live with them and thus get in touch with our real Self which is Divine. The Journey of Life Eteranl is a masterpiece of Spiritual literature.

All true seekers need to read this book and practice Principles so that they may at least begin and hopefully complete their individual Journey of Life Eternal. Kudos to Dr. Shahmardaan.

This book serves the needs of arm chair philosophers but much more importantly, it provides real answers to deep spiritual questions for those amongst us who are true seekers. The book gives the tools with which each one of us can realize the goal of life which is open to all.

Dr. Shahmardaan's explanations are very clear and the content very uplifting. The material will both support and miff those who claim that there is only one Master chosen by the Divine to lead mankind back to the Source from which we all became.
Anyone who has an open mind will truly appreciate this book and it may help to open the minds of those who because of their own insecurities and false sense of superiority have shut the world out of their lives.
To help the readers, unlike many authors, by providing his contact information in the book Dr. Shahmardaan shows real concern for his audience.
This is truly a wonderful gift to manking. A gift if received by many will surely help mankind inch its way towards peace and harmony.

The most powerful idea and the most challenging concept was on page 124, where Dr. Shahmardaan presents the road ahead as choosing either: a.) Giving ourselves up to the challenge -(surrendering) or b.) Discarding the book, as our only options.
In a very real sense, I understood then, that: we either choose to take 'THE' road or we postpone it.
In reviewing the points that I jotted down (and found their way into my spiral notebook), I realized that the words and phrases that resonated with me, were for the most part, not things that I necessarily wanted to hear, but things that, (I have now learned ) I needed to hear.
So,in the process of devouring Dr. Bahram R. Shahmardaan's principles and concepts, I would get stuck on words like "surrender" and jot it down and then say Why? (I even looked it up inthe dictionary) The more I kept reading, the more I understood that 'surrendering' has nothing to do with submitting at all. In fact it is its opposite. I now understand that, 'Surrender is voluntary and is a result of humility born of love'.
There were other principles that reaffirmed my own beliefs, and understanding of certain concepts; these were the principles that I have grown into along my journey, and hold dear at this time in my life. Of course no sooner did I feel that I was on a 'pretty good' road, he jolted me out of my complacency by challenging me on yet another 'area' along my road, my "journey of life"
I especially like the way the book ASKS a lot of questions not tells a lot of answers directly, as if to challenge us:
"Are you a Source or an Anti-Source?"
"Do we act out of fear or out of love?"
The reason this appeals to me is that I think the author is aware that people don't like to be told what to do but rather be brought about by 'nudging'
Dr. Shahmardaan has given some very powerful conepts and priciples that can propel us to take on the challenges of our journey with open eyes; concepts that arm us with a different way of looking at ourselves and the world. I like to describe this as "looking through different lenses". Following these principles would produce more peaceful and productive unions within our society:
"Be watchful, not reactive" (If we would follow this advice, it would stave off a lot of family squabbles, violence in families, and in society)
"When the disciple is ready to meet the MASTER, then the MASTER will create the conditions..." (Having this faith, would teach us patience)
This reader appreciates that Dr. B.R. Shahmardaan has taken insights and put them into practical do-able daily 'way of life' for anyone to avail themselves of.

A fun and easy read for me. Helped me see nonduality in a new way and answered some questions I had. Highly recommended.

The hole drilled right through the middle of this book displayed on the shelf at a book store caught my eye, and I was introduced to the wonderful world of Chuck Hillig.

Page after page, the hole is the centerpiece through which 'nothing' and 'all things' can be seen. In his usual playful style sprinkled with his delightful sense of humor, Hillig guides the readers on a journey through the hole and into the whole.

I have since read "Enlightenment for Beginners," "The Way It Is", as well as "Seeds for the Soul," all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. You will definitely want to read his books more than once, and they will continue to enlighten you for years to come.

He talks mostly about the Void, what is beatifully descriped in the mystical literature (where I reccomend reading more about it).

Is it Truly Necessary or Important to our every day life (what is the most important right now) to emphasize the Void like this, wich is part of the dualistic nature of the Existence. Everything and Nothing, Light and Darkness, Feminine and Masculine and so on.

I want to read those good spiritual books, wich has a positive impact on my life. Not books what will distract you too much, makes you unbalanced and has more negative than positive impact on your life and personality.

I have to say, that Chuck's books have been one of the worst spiritual books I have bumbed into. That's my personal opinion. I don't like he's pushing writing style.

I truly feel like I made a mistake when I ordered this, Enlightment for Beginners and Seeds for the Soul last Christmas. Becouse of the positive comments, these seemed good books. For me they had mostly only negative impact and I don't want to reccomend any of them to anyone. Enlightment for the beginners was the best, Seeds for the Soul worst and this goes into the middle, out of these 3 books.

Stay with well writed books, wich has positive impact on your life, like for example Stanislav Grof's and Christopher Bache's books or Echart Tolle's "The Power of Now" type books, that's my message.

Listen yourself carefully, before you decide to buy any book, don't just rush and buy them becouse they seem like great books. I learned my lesson and I will for now on consider more carefully what books I will buy and what leave behind.

There are many far more better spiritual books than these out there, truly well writed books, I reccomend using your money on them. Chuck's books aren't anything necessary to buy.

Love and Laugh to everybody's life.

Chuck has done "it" again in this easy to read, motivational account of recognizing our natural state...the space of silent awareness within ( the hole) which opens outward to embrace the universe...the whole!

P.S.
If for any reason you can not buy the book ... please at least take the (w)hole.

There is so much wisdom and love and crammed into this tiny book that it's simply incredible. When I read this book just about every night (and yes it is definitely worth a second, third and fourth read) it kind of feels like it is your Higher Self or an Angel talking to you and guiding you in the most insightful and loving way possible.

The book itself is not written like a novel, but a series of mini essays (each one about a page) and that better express the quote presented on the left page. The quotes themselves are wonderfully positive affirmations that can be used in and of themselves but it is the writing that is truly captivating.

I love that this book does not present itself as presumptuous and arrogant in saying it has all the answers. Instead, the author uses a guidance system to guide the reader to their own personal truth and this is nothing short of empowering.

I don't think that this may be the book for those who are loyal to a particular religion, as many things may be considered blasphemous by that person. I do however, highly recommend it to anyone on any level of their spiritual path who is more accepting of the art of channeling and/or has a liking for New Age thinking.

The Messiah Seed, as read by the author Story Waters, is the most amazingly beautiful thing I have ever heard. I have been a student of A Course In Miracles for 24 years, and these CDs are the cherry that tops the beautiful sundae of ACIM. Story's voice is beautiful, and his presentation is magnificent. Listening to these CDs actually stuns me and lifts me to a greater realization of my own power. Story's truth reverberates inside my heart and echoes my own truth. It deserves far more than 5 stars.

My copy of the book, even though it is only six months old, is now about the most worn book in my library. I loved Story's voice on the Love Is Awake CD so I thought it would be great to be able to listen to The Messiah Seed in the car. What I got instead was a whole new level to the book. Its not that the audio version is better than the book but even though the words are the same there is something different. I'm sure a lot of it is to do with the way Story conveys it with his voice. Or perhaps rather than sitting and reading you can just lay back and fall into it. Whatever the case this is a great way to experience it. Each seed has a pause between it with the sound of waves allowing you to absorb what you have just heard before you are given more. If you haven't read the book its a must-read for anyone into free-thinking spirituality as opposed to religion. If you have the book then this is a great way to experience even more that is beyond the words. One of the book reviews I read talks of the writing being full of YES energy, well add Story's voice to that and you've got YES energy overload! Where ever you are this will lift you up through the ceiling.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea of channeling, and I approached this book with a little bit of bias. Taking each of the Messiah Seed entries into consideration apart from that factor, however, I was really quite impressed. It's almost as if the most uplifting parts of various religions were brought together in a synthesis of wondrous thought. This is a book that you can read straight through, or open at random for a quick bite of food for thought. This book can help you to open up your own tremendous potential in a constructive way. Although brief, it contains a lifetime's worth of wisdom.

This is truly an amazing book! It's written in such a way that it can actually touch your soul - and I haven't come across many books that have the ability to do that...

"The Messiah Seed" is broken down into 70 different chapters, or "seeds", each about 1 page in length (so it's quite easy to read a little at a time if you're too busy to read an entire book in one sitting).

Each of these chapters brings forth powerful spiritual wisdom re: just how powerful each & every one of us is, and how to best use this power to live the life we truly want to live. In other words, each chapter plants a seed in your soul - where it will grow when you are ready.

These "seeds" are definitely worth reflecting/pondering on, and because of this, I think "The Messiah Seed" is a book to be read & re-read many times over.

I would highly recommend this book to those who are just starting on their spiritual journey, as well as those who've been on this journey for some time. Although, I must say that it may be easier to grasp its' insights if you have some sort of spiritual foundation already laid. However, regardless of your background, these insights can profoundly impact your life IF they are approached with an open mind.

The clarity and insight of the Summa is unrivaled in philosophical theology. St. Thomas is dedicated to finding the truth and attaining happiness. He pursues the truth with formal logic and applies Aristotle, Scriptures, Church Fathers et alia to reach solid conclusions which make perfect sense. Like Euclid, Aquinas requires some postulates, i.e. the existence of God and God's revelation of Himself. Positing these, he builds a solid invulnerable theology which must convince any intelligent reader.

This is the definitive work of Catholic theology and is still studied in all the divinity schools. I had the two-volume set included in the Great Books of the Western World. It isn't the sort of work one goes to for a little light reading, obviously, but as an exercise in applied classical logic as well as theology, it is one of the most important ever written.

Thomas is important to both mystical and non-mystical traditions within Christianity, and for me the most interesting aspects of the work are where he attempts to deduce the various aspects and attributes of God. This was a popular exercise in the area of natural philosophy, and even mathematicians with a religious bent, such as Newton and Leibnitz, had a go at it, Newton referring to God in his Principia (his mathematical theory of universal gravitation) as "...an infinite and elastic spirit." And of course Leibnitz is famous for the ontological argument for God's existence.

In addition, Thomas was also concerned with everyday life and ethics and morality, with a person's natural and supernatural life, countering heretical thinking, and the nature of beauty. He influenced early Renaissance artists such as Fra Angelica, who followed Thomas's three canons of beauty: immaterial purity of form, luminous clarity of color, and harmonious beauty of proportions, and Angelica's paintings are really meditations upon these three principles, in some ways not so different from the way Perugino's paintings (Leonardo's teacher) were sometimes meditations on spatial geometry.

Finally, you may know the story that when Thomas was in school, he was very quiet in class and so his fellow students thought him dull. But at the conclusion of one class when the teacher gave the final exam, he was the only one with the right answer. Sort of reminds me of those stories about Einstein. :-) All of which just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by its cover--nor the Summa Theologica, too, I might add.

I purchased this Five-volume set after taking a couple of philosophy courses, which I feel like I should recommend to anyone starting to dive into this hefty text. If you don't feel like taking a class, perhaps some of the secondary texts written by philosophers about Aquinas will help in reading this fantastic set of info.
Aquinas forms his arguments in a way that is almost flawless. I am not Catholic, yet I find this to be an explanation of Catholic doctrine that makes me almost want to convert. For anyone from the atheist to the devout catholic, this text is a window into one of the greateast natural and revealed theologians to ever document his thoughts. Footnotes are aplenty to send you on your way to other documents, especially Augistine, so be prepared for an obsession.

Probably the best sys theo work ever. Oh, that more fellow Protestants would pour over this text!

These volumes have withstood the test of time in the worlds of religion and philosophy. Reading the words of one of the greatest minds in history is both entertaining and educational. This set is a must have for anyone who likes to study philosophy. For a beginner, it may be beneficial to get one of the many Aquinas readers or help texts, but it doesn't take very long to catch on and soon you will find yourself just reading at your own pace, making your own ideas about what Aquinas is all about.

The poems in this volume are poignant and touched me deeply. I read from it almost daily and find something each time to relate to and discover.

This is a phenominal book of poetry that both the novice and seasoned poetry reader will enjoy. The poems are filled with palpable imagery and the rhythmic genius that I have come to expect and crave from Mary Oliver.

From one of the foremost poets writing in the English language, this is a superb collection of poems reflecting the concerns of loss, faith, beauty and the human condition.
Buy it, read it, savour the power of a writer at her peak.
Beautiful, beautiful work.

I so loved this collection of Mary Oliver's poetry. This is my first introduction to her work and I found it amazing. I was so moved by her poem, "When Roses Speak, I Pay Attention." I read it over and over to let it really sink in.

This was our introduction to Mary Oliver. This lady has an amazing ear for words and eye for the natural world. My husband and I both read it from cover to cover in one sitting and indeed found precious moments of calm and tranquility in a stressed out world. You might look at things a little differently after reading this book. We bought copies for our friends and family for Christmas.

"God On Your Own" is a wonderful, inclusive book that gives readers an invitation to get unstuck from unexamined beliefs and the perceived need to follow the dictums of outer "authorities", and instead, to follow the advice of one of my own spiritual teachers, Jack Schwarz, who said, "Trust your inner authority," or as I would put it, trust your core (inner) wisdom. (Jesus said that the kingdom of God was within us....do you think he may have been on to something?!)

I appreciated how the author kept returning in the book to what really mattered, being able to directly know one's true nature as an expression of the Source of ALL, rather than the delusion of being a separate limited survival oriented entity. His inclusion of such teachings as those of Joel Goldsmith, was useful in giving readers a chance to engage in the possibility that the outer world is a projection of our inner state of Being, and it is one's state of Being more than what they attempt to do from a state of separation that will allow for the shift in the world that people say they want.

Josph Dispenza'a chapters on beliefs, prayer, responsibility, and other aspects are clear and invite the reader to, as Dr. Hazel Parcell's used to say, "Check it out!" for themselves (Dr. Parcells was the subject of an earlier book by Dispenza). I love that that the author has invited the reader to trust themselves to know God as intimately and easily as God know them ---to realize that there is no separation, only particle and wave, content and context--- and without an outer crutch, they can know the world with love and compassion as a "play of consciousness" and be guided by the Source of All.

This book is an excellent guide and roadmap for returning home to your true nature.

Dispenza's unusual persoanl journey -- from deep inside dogmatic religion to a serious spiritual life outside of it -- combined with his rich knowledge of traditional theology and contemporary mystic writers makes this book a most provocative read. It will take you on your own personal journey, for you can't help but think about where you stand on the issues he raises.

He presents several fresh insights. For example, the Lord's Prayer is all about separation and divisiveness!! Amazing! In fact, he demonstrates that much of the Bible is about separation. I have never looked at this -- or seen it -- so clearly. An important theme throughout the book is unity, oneness, mystical union.

Dispenza's personal story woven throughout is fascinating, and I love the way many of his points arise out of his personal experience.

Dispenza brilliantly turns each of his monastic vows into important principles of spirituality. This is a genuinely original argument.

The chapter on peak experience is provocative. And the last chapter about our entering a new age is really wonderful.


Dispenza identifies these as key spiritual concepts: detachment, innocence, responsibility, peak experience, service. These are similar to the key spiritual principles I have independently identified in my own writing: connection, authenticity, love, awareness, surrender, gratitude. (See Chapter 14 in Why Talking Is Not Enough.)Why Talking Is Not Enough: Eight Loving Actions That Will Transform Your Marriage

If you are interested in your own spiritual quest, don't miss this provocative read!

Totally synchronistic! I came upon ordering this book somewhat in error and it was the best mistake I have ever made! I found this book to eloquently (and easily )cover most of the points of the multitude of other spiritually focused books I have read. And I can assure you I have read most of them! This book crosses all religious and spiritual practice lines and really supports a deeply personal spiritual path. I have experienced a pretty significant medical crisis this past year, which became a deeply spiritual experience for me. Joseph Dispenza has helped me to understand my path and in such a down to earth, practical way. I am so grateful that I found this book!

This is a comment on the book by Joseph Dispenza, "God On Your Own"I have read the book and found it to be right on target with my own struggle and journey. Every once in a while a book comes along that resonates in that place beyond belief to knowing. This is such a book. I like the fact that he honors the belief system he was raised in as a path that led him to seek his truth.
My own search began with Marianne Williamson's "A Return To Love" and "The Conversation With God" series, then on to Tolle's "The Power Of Now".. This book encouraged me to become even more comfortable with my
"new" truth. It is very difficult to separate from a belief system that has become so much a part of your life and family heritage. I encourage everyone to read this book and find out how great you really are and know that you are co-creating your life.

Joseph Dispenza has written a book that is not so radical as much as it is a straightforwardly honest account of his journey, and how "meaning" is not borrowed or bestowed, but is, rather, created from within each person [read A. Damazio's THE FEELING OF WHAT HAPPENS] and is ALWAYS located there as a personal, private phenomenon.
He is also honest about the necessity for each person to question their experience to ascertain what is "relevant" to them, asserting that questions are not only acceptable, but are rquired, in order to locate what is "true for you." [read Neal Postman's chapter "Defending against the indefensible" in CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTIONS]
Consistent with these human traits and capacities, he affirms individual responsibility for choices about what to believe, whom to trust and emulate, and how to respectfully listen to and carefully weigh what any other person expresses about their experience, yet trusting one's own perspicacity. [read R. Baumeister's chapter "The myth of higher meaning" in MEANINGS OF LIFE and P. Tillich's THE COURAGE TO BE, about the importance of doubt]
Dispenza's book is a humane, affirming, encouraging book about growing up and taking full responsibility for what belief and the expression of belief mean in one's personal life and in the global community, which has significant consequences for you and for all of your "neighbors." Read his book, then YOU decide what your life means, and tell your personal story.

"So that's what destiny is: simply the fulfillment of the potentialites of the energies in your own system." ~ Joseph Campbell from "A Joseph Campbell Companion"

This book is a must-have.

Packed with a wide range of Campbell's musings, it's the perfect introduction to the man who helped us understand the hero's journey and what it means to follow our bliss.

We are each living our own Hero's Journey in life. This book is a guide on that journey. Wonderful quotes that inspire. For the price of movie ticket, you get a weekend workshop on how to live a life that you're destined to live.

I've been a Joseph Campbell fan for years, and this book is a perfect one to give as a gift to someone who isn't quite up to reading his more scholorly works. It's a guideline for life gleaned from his in-depth study of cultural myths from which he developed his own wonderful philsophy of life.

As a fan of Joseph Campbell's writings I was excited to see a book titled "A Joseph Campbell Companion", especially prefixed by the words "Reflections on the Art of Living". It sounded like something right up my alley. How could you possibly go wrong with a title like that?
The short answer is that this book is not organized in a helpful way. I was expecting something akin to Anne Charter's "Portable Beat Reader" where each section is well organized and documented and each entry is titled and dated so you know where it came from -much like an encyclopedia. Instead what you get is a long series of sound bites and miscellaneous quotes that you have to look up in the reference pages in the rear of the book for clues as to how to put things into any sort of context. Although much of the writing is superb, it is often hard to tell where passage starts or stops.
The result makes me think of the sort of book that's good for the bathroom. You can pick it up and read a random passage and get something out of it, but reading it from front to back is often frustrating.

I came to this book having read only The Power of Myth; a transcript of the great Campbell TV series of that name. It motivated me to go out and buy some twenty plus books of Joseph Campbell. Good? It's not good; it's wonderful.

An elderly reverend gentleman's opinion however was "I prefer a linear narrative." It IS largely a book of Campbell's key aphorisms and stories. It is best appreciated as an aide memoire, when the unfortunate lack of an index is disappointing. "Now where did I read that line / story" provides hours of searching.

The good news? After several years they are all internalised and like Brighton Rock they go all the way through; plus you can probably find them quicker.

A negative comment below by Life Long Reader "LLR" is that this book is purely a mishmash of Diane Osbon's views on life. Wrong! The five page introduction could be unfairly said to be so. The other 306 pages are PURE CAMPBELL so don't be misled.

I first read this precious book, when a friend sent it to me, after my husbands death.
It was such a comfort.
Now I send it, hoping it will help and comfort some one else.

This is a wonderful book to own for yourself or give as a gift to anyone that has had a love one go on before them to heaven. It gives a vivid picture of what heaven is like. You will feel close to heaven and those that have gone on to their reward.
I first read this book when my sister and then my father died in the same year. It was a tremendous source of comfort, and made the vast expanse between us seem so much smaller.
I highly recommend it.

I first read 'Intra Muros' in the late 1970s.
Although I realize it is not absolutely the truth, it gave me such a peace about death and the hereafter, I passed the book on to another.
At one time I bought 24 of them to pass around. Not one came back to me.
Isn't that wonderful!
Now I am doing the same thing with 'My Dream of Heaven'.
I wish everyone would/could read it.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This book is a great gift to give to someone who has lost a loved one. It helps you to imagine what Heaven will be like.

Although it is the author's dream of heaven, it is a beautiful story about how heaven may be and that it is a continuation from our life on earth. We will meet our family and friends and we will all be so happy and praising our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a lovely book and produces warm and happy feelings!
