Book Reviews of Death and the Life After
Book Review: Reasons to Believe
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in the hardback edition when it was called FACING DEATH (AND THE LIFE AFTER), and all these years later, I still myself talking about it.
Around that time, I attended a wedding where a member of the bride's family died of a heart attack at the reception (it was as bad as it sounds, believe me). But he didn't die right away. And he spoke before he was gone. It was obvious by what he said and how he said it that he was telling us what he could see: what lies ahead.
Billy Graham, a man who has presided over many deathbeds in his long career as a preacher, writes of his experiences at such moments. And it was stunning to me to read of the similarities.
I've read several of Dr. Graham's book and I've been struck at the depth and complexity of his writings. As an evangelist, he keeps his messages simple and straightforward, but as a writer, he can delve into his subjects more deeply and more thoughtfully.
It's a great book that gives you so much to think about.
And find comfort in.
Book Review: Learning About What Happens When A Loved One Dies and What Will Happen When I Die
Summary: 5 Stars
After a family tragedy, I bought every book on death, dying, and especially Heaven, that I could find.
This is one of Billy Graham's older books and has some of his thoughts about Heaven.
Some books were especially comforting when I just needed to know God was there to comfort me. At the time the wreck was happening, I remember saying to myself, "So this is the day I will get to see Jesus face to face." No, it was the day my husband got to see Jesus face to face. As I got stronger, I wondered exactly what he and my other loved ones are doing in Heaven. I just ached for more knowledge.
One thing I enjoyed from this book was the part discussing the beauty of the surroundings and sounds in Heaven and how the description of the streets of gold isn't as inviting to some of us who prefer the natural beauty of mountains and countryside. This is one of my books on Heaven that I'm glad I read. I still ache to know more, of course.
Book Review: What a Blessing....
Summary: 5 Stars
I was blessed to be with my mother during the last 3 weeks of her life this past October. She loved the Lord with all of her heart. During those weeks, I saw so many awesome things happen. The biggest one was the peace of God that was in my mother's room on the morning of October 5th (the day she went home to be with the Lord).
I had so many thougths running through my mind during those 3 weeks and this book answered all of them.
I could go on and on with all the many things that I learned about my mother during this time, but what got to me the most was how Mr. Graham describe his mother's "home going".
Now I understand why my mother was reaching toward heaven on that great morning.
I thank God for the journey, for being there with my mother to share and see the power of God move and very peacefully call my mother from Labor to Rest.
God Bless You Mr. Graham.
Book Review: Grief
Summary: 5 Stars
Death and grief are difficult to understand and to deal with.I lost my father and knowing that we will see him again in Heaven is what gives me comfort. We have lost many in the family to heart attacks and cancer. We do wonder why? We also know that God is taking care of us. He doesn't take our trials away he is with us through our trials. Once again Billy Graham has penned a book full of wisdom. I also found that a Christian grief journal, Write from Your Heart, A Healing Grief Journal, is helping me to get all of my thoughts and feelings organized and I am reaching the point of acceptence and making moves to grow spiritually, mentally and physically.
Book Review: Excellent commentary on life after death.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really helped me in my journey of what life after death meant according to the Word. I find this book to be very informative and I would recommend it to anyone who has lost a saved loved one and who are having problems understanding salvation.
