5 out of 5 stars Must read!   April 4, 2008
Monroe (Savannah, GA)
27 out of 27 found this review helpful

What an incredible compilation of stories. Here is an opportunity to gain firsthand details of what those who are dying have to say, see and feel in the moments before they pass. It is hard to argue with a first-hand account. It is also quite eye-opening to notice that nearly every story has a hint of similarity where the characters (real people) themselves are anything but similar ranging from small children to the very old...the inherent conclusion is that spirituality and love invariably inhabits us all. If you are going to die...and as Mrs. Harris says, everybody dies, this book should be on your list to finish sooner rather than later.


5 out of 5 stars A Very Holy Moment   April 2, 2008

I've had the incredible blessing of being in the room when God welcomes one home. It's a very holy moment that often words cannot describe. But somehow, Trudy Harris has managed to take us to those holy moments so sweetly and intimately that each of us can now have a Glimpse of Heaven through those who have gone before. This is a thought provoking and touching book. It will make you smile, bring you comfort and maybe you'll even shed a happy tear. We've shared this book with friends and family, you'll want to as well.

Glimpses of Heaven is a collection of Trudy's experiences, each a short story, so it is easy to pick up and put down. Ok, it is NOT-at-all easy to put down! You won't be able. This book made me giggle, laugh, sigh, smile and sob until my pillow was wet. It is a wonderful book, full of inspiration and hope. It will make you recall the death of dear loved ones and think about your own mortality with greater comfort, peace and understanding. Trudy has a wonderful gift of expression so that you are right in that room, reliving that experience. You feel the emotions: sadness, comfort, grief, bonding and relief - mixed in with her great sense of humor and a new understanding of what death is like. It is eye-opening and a great read. I highly recommend this book.

Trudy's book helps you understand the importance of listening to the words of your loved one while they are passing from this world into Heaven. You can walk with them, hold their hand, let them know you are hearing what they say while they make this transition, and you will be richer and wiser from being able to get a glimpse of Heaven as they enter.

Trudy is truly an angel with a message everyone should receive.

Trudy Harris shares with us some of her many profound experiences while tending to the very special emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of the dying. These true stories are beautifully told in a very easy and readable form. All of us have family members, friends, and loved ones who have died, are dying, or will die. This book helps us understand the inevitable.

We all can derive some level of comfort surrounding our own mortality. Trudy Harris is obviously a truly compassionate care giver and a very special person. And, now we know she is a wonderful writer. After reading her book, I purchased several copies to give to friends and family.

Glimpses of Heaven is an important book and will truly help you and those you love.
