While waiting in heaven for divine judgment to be passed on her second husband, Eleanor of Aquitaine and three of the people who knew her well recall the events of her life.
Tilly
This is the story of Kathy and her husband Dan. At the start of the book Kathy comes across a gravestone that is simply marked “Tilly” and has one date-which dates back nine years. After this Kathy has a very emotional time and her husband is concerning that the gravestone was too much for her and goes to seek out the story behind that simple marker. In the mean time Kathy has a dream, where she gets to meet Tilly in Heaven. Tilly is Kathy’s aborted baby, now all grown up and new in Heaven and the story has a very strong pro-life message and speaks for the unborn as well as the mothers of the unborn. Kathy goes through a process of healing from her hurt and grief over what she did to her daughter nine years ago and Tilly is filled with joy at being able to meet, play with and hug her mother at last.
What’s Heaven Like?
“What is heaven like?”
A young boy and his sister, missing their recently departed grandfather, ponder heaven. In a quest for understanding, the boy sets off to ask everyone he encounters all about it–his teachers, the ice cream truck driver, the dentist, his family–and each person offers a different yet insightful response.
For any child who is coming to terms with the loss of a loved one, or even those young ones who are simply curious, What Is Heaven Like? poignantly addresses the questions kids ask most often. The final page offers suggestions for parents and Christian educators.
