Children ask a lot of questions. When a death occurs in their family or circle of friends, those questions inevitably turn toward heaven. Is heaven real? Where is it? What will we do there? How do we get there? And more. Parents and grandparents often find themselves at a loss to explain a place that they suddenly may realize they don't know much about either. Colorfully illustrated and using simple concepts and language that children ages 4-7 can understand, A Place Called Heaven for Kids provides answers to 10 of these common questions. In doing so, it gives children peace of mind about their lost loved one as well as a comforting, biblical picture of their forever home. For parents, grandparents, and caregivers, it offers a positive, constructive way to grieve, hope, and grow with the children in their lives.
Betty Jean Barney Farnsworth was born to a humble, down to earth, all American family in a small town in southern Utah. From a very young age Betty was fascinated with history, particularly family history. When she was just a teenager, she gifted a journal to her grandmother. She wanted to know her story. Grandma Lilly's life truly mattered to Betty Jean. As a result of this selfless gift, her grandmother continued to write in many journals, almost daily until the day she died. Betty's seemingly small gift turned into a legacy and a treasure for generations to enjoy. Family history turned into a lifelong passion. Through the years Betty has researched relentlessly to trace her family roots back through the centuries. On this search she has gotten to know not just the name, birth, and death dates, but has really gotten to know who these people were. Their joy, their heartbreak and their stories, she has laughed, and cried with them. Through this role she has, essentially, kept them alive with their life’s stories in our lives and hearts. Betty Jean's passion for those who had already passed became more of a 'knowing' when she herself, actually died while giving birth to her second son. Thankfully, doctors were able to revive her. Upon waking, Betty Jean knew life would never be the same, because she truly knew that her life didn't end even when she was no longer here. Through this amazing journey, Betty has literally become an ambassador between those living, and those who have passed. She has now stepped into the realm of sharing her gift of writing, and her gift of spirit through her writing. This book is a collection of experiences from the most tender place in her heart, Heaven. Now we can all experience a little bit of Heaven on Earth through this Earth angel's eyes.
This book is an informative book. It tells you about my seers graduation in Heaven, which went on for three consecutive days, six hours each day. It also tells you about how beautiful, serene and blissful Heaven is and why it is important for everyone to endeavour to make Heaven. I say this because, as I walked past a wall in Heaven, I heard the screams of those who were heading to Hell, which was extremely frightening.
Heavens and the Heaven looks at five levels of heaven. These are Life, Heights, Times, Power and God. As far as the scriptures are concerned, the author could find no other heaven. In other word, we do not and cannot go to heaven when we die. In looking at hell, on the other hand, we also find that this is suffering, pains and aches here on earth. Death and the grave is, therefore, the seal of this hell. Some have asked: “why do we believe in Jesus, then?” The answer is in Paul’s Temple cry in the council of Acts.23:6. “... Men and brethren ... of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called ...” So, the struggle continue to be choosing between our will or God’s will; our traditions and belief system, or the word of God as contained in the Bible; our sugar laden air pocket ridden leaven bread or God’s choice of healthy unleavened bread. To introduce this book a little bit more, here is an excerpt from the theme of this work: If all living are in heaven, it may be hard for some to accept that those who are alive but ill and suffering are also in heaven. This explains why too many folks refuse, or find it difficult to accept that the life we enjoy now is all the heaven there is. But the harsh reality is, for as long as this present time remains, life is all the heaven there is! Whether we accept or believe it or not, we LIVE out this heaven of life in Time, in Height, in Power (and privileges) and in God. These all, jointly and severally describes the five levels of the heavens there are. But life makes sense of the others and everything else. That life is in God. His Spirit establishes that life in all living. So, when we talk of Life we, inadvertently, talk of the Deity of the universe. The author’s position in these is this. Let this work help us to pause a moment. Then, reexamine the word of God in these views of our heavens also. We may yet find that we have been with the traditions and belief of men long enough. Our individual and joint finds should help ground us more strongly in whatever level in the Faith and understanding of the word of God we are in, currently. In this effort, we should remember that the greatest of these all is to love God above all, and our neighbor as ourselves. Our neighbors are our family members (immediate and extended members), the Jews or Israel (the Elect of God and our Father’s first born). The third are the folks we meet in our daily interactions.
#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife. “Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.” Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of Armageddon Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.” Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. Praise for Heaven is for Real: “A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me
