You've Heard Many Reports of Visits to Heaven, But What About Visits from Heaven? On Saturday, December 29, 2012-four days after Christmas-Harriet Deison suddenly disappeared. She'd had a wonderful life with Pete-her best friend and husband of forty-three years-their two beautiful daughters, and eight awesome grandchildren. But Harriet, who had battled clinical depression on and off during her adult life, was in a sudden downturn. Pete's frantic search for her that day ended with the most heartbreaking words ever heard: "Mr. Deison, your wife is dead." In one earth-shattering instant, the loving and compassionate pastor's wife, grandmother, and prize-winning floral designer was gone. Visits from heaven is the beautiful love story of a man and his wife that quickly becomes a reflection of god's love for his children. The narrative of strange coincidences, amazing answers to prayer, and dozens of dreams Pete and others have had of Harriet after her death help answer our continual and deeply important questions: Is Heaven a Place Where Real Life Continues?, Will I Enjoy it, Or is it all clouds, Pearly Cates, and Long Church Services?, What are Heaven's Residents Like?, Do they Know What's Happening on Earth? Visits from heaven answers those questions and more, presenting readers with a clearer picture of what life is like for a believer after he or she leaves earth. It also provides a grief manual for those who have been left behind. Deeply grounded in Scripture and in the classic works of writers such as C. S. Lewis, Jonathan Edwards, and Dallas Willard, Pete Deison shares biblical truths and his incredible new view of life, death, and our heavenly home. Join Pete in his discovers of unexpected comfort in the face of grief and his realization that visits from heaven are not just possible but occur more regularly than we know. Book jacket. (less)
