It Says It All

Recently, I had attended a memorial service where I heard a speaker reading lines "in the next room." When I had asked the speaker for the name of the work, writer, he didn't know, only that he and his wife had heard these lines several years ago at a funeral. It took some research, but I'm so glad I found this. The words express so well the sentiment and bring comfort for those of us left behind.

Inspiration and comfort

This little book provides such a comforting view of death. I gave this to my mother who was in the terminal stage of her illness, and she felt it expressed her view exactly. I bought a copy for everyone in the family and even a few friends who had recently lost loved ones. Mom wanted this read at her service, and it provided comfort and inspiration to everyone. The only complaint I have is that it leaves off two crucial lines at the end of the passage; in order to be more "universal" the reference to being one in Christ was not included. Overall, though, a real treasure.

A timeless message of hope for those in despair

A simple message of hope and love during what has to be a period of tremendous loss and grief for any one who loses a loved one. Accompanied by beautiful, yet simple, illustrations, that convey the tone of Canon Henry Scott Hollands' message-that there is life after the loss of a loved one- that you do move on with your life. This is a comforting and moving piece of prose for anyone who is dealing with the death of a loved one. It is a fine example of the work of Canon Henry Scott Holland. I highly reccomend this book!
