Customer Reviews

Wonderful grief tool, but an asset to any home...

This book was given to my family by a dear hospice nurse almost ten years ago when my young husband was in the very late stages of cancer. It became a favorite book for our four children, then ages 4,6,10 and 13, and for other visiting family members as we grappled with real life & death issues. As followers of Christ we had hope amidst the anguish; this book gave us some lovely analogies on what the process of dying and arriving in heaven might be like, what their dad and someday, each of us, had to look forward to. It helped the children and adults alike as we processed the feelings, the physical changes in my husband and contemplated our own mortality. I believe that this book was an excellent tool in helping my kids deal with this trajedy and understand that death for a Christian is NOT punishment. A fantastic celebration awaits all who love Jesus as he welcomes us home... where we will be more ALIVE than ever, forever! (I've given this book to many others going through pending or recent losses. They, too, found the book very encouraging and helpful.)

A must have...

This is one of the very best children's books I have ever read. I highly recommend this book for anyone with kids. I have given it to all of my nieces and nephews along with a number of other kids. I cannot say enough about how good this book is. Larry Libby has an uncanny knack for gently and tenderly communicating to young children.

A rare resource for parents of dying children

When our daughter was battling a brain tumor, I looked high and low for a book like this one. Another parent in a similar situation stumbled on to this book and recommended it. In the years afterwards I have continued to recommend it, and I've purchased and given away several copies to parents of dying children.The viewpoint is evangelical Christian. The other reviews are accurate so far as they report features of the book.

Simply Incredible!

Kids ask the tough questions and Larry Libby presents the answers in a way that is enthralling and captivating. He deals with the sensitive issues of death and dying in a satisfying fashion. Absolutely indespensible material for the family or church library.

WONDERFUL!

"Someday Heaven" is a wonderful and inspiring book that is not only for children but one that every adult should read! It tries to answer the complex questions we all have about dying and heaven using a unique blend of scriptures and simple analogies. A book that reminds us of what really matters
