Glimpses of Heaven: True Stories of Hope and Peace at the End of Life's Journey Audiobook

" As a hospice volunteer, this is a must read book! Seeing through the eyes of a person who's in the dying process helps you love and appreciate God and in His promise REGARDLESS of what name you give Him, God welcomes ALLHis children Home Its a lovely read for ALL religious beliefs and helps you take a strong look at what you consider important in your life. "

" This was a wonderful book, also sad because they are true. A hospice nurse tells stories of the hope and peace at the end of life's journey. "

" This book was okay but I was expecting really amazing stories and while there were a few of those some were just blah. "

" Stories of people who have had a near-death experience as told by a nurse who witnessed it. "

" The author (a former hospic nurse) writes on her patients experiences as they prepared for their physical life's end. Good gift for a terminally ill person. "

" WOW! This book will leave you in awe and wonderment. What is in store for each one of us when this life comes to a close? Harris does an excellent job capturing the final moments of some of her patients. It is amazing how similar the experiences are. It is even more amazing how the hand of God draws us even closer to him at those final moments of life, regardless of religious denomination. This book is well worth the read. "

" The author, Trudy Harris, a nurse taking care of the terminally ill and dying for over 32 years wrote this book from stories that she has experienced over the years. She is obviously a woman of strong faith and wants to give the message of what she has learned from being with so many at the time of their death. Trudy details things that the dying have said and seen as they get ready to pass from this life into the next. What she describes is comforting to both those facing death and the people who love them and don't want to lose them. My intense feeling in reading this book is that no one should die alone and I am so grateful that we were all with my dad as he reached the end. My despair came to know that my grandmother did not have that when she passed away and that she died in a hospital room alone. I admit that this haunts me and I pray that the Lord sent my grandfather to be the person to welcome her home, as they were so devoted to each other. "

" The description of the book is pretty misleading. Thought it would be more about people's experiences with the after life, but it's more about their journey getting there. (I.e. their last days of life and coming to terms with dying). Not very impressed and the book gets repetitive after a while. "
