Additional information
by Gregory H. Ritter (Author)
With clear language and inspiring personal stories, Gregory Ritter's new book will bring most readers a joyous new perspective and hope about death and dying. What We Know of Heaven delves into the words of Jesus, near-death experiences of hospital patients brought back to life, and the "nearing-death" testimony of people in hospice care - along with some surprising scientific research. Clearly relishing his topic, Ritter, a retired Presbyterian minister, delves into the possibility that "Heaven is not as we imagine it to be," that there may be cause for all of us to rejoice in a Heaven of indescribable bliss, beyond time and space and petty human turmoil. The similarity of these descriptions seems to indicate that the world's religions may have captured only part of the story about what is to come. Perhaps our previous descriptions are limited by our finite human experience on Earth. This is a book that you likely will share with people you love. Almost certainly, you will read it more than once.
--Warren Wolfe, retired journalist at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, writing about aging, death and dying, medical care and religion.
