This is a book that all readers will love. It is especially comforting to those who are grieving. Everyone wonders what Heaven is like. Where is it? How does one get there? Who will be there? These and many other questions are addressed in this book.

Using a combination of Scripture, gentle humor, and over one hundred personal accounts from people who have died and returned, including Malz's own twenty-eight minutes of physical death, Malz provides likely answers to common questions about Heaven.

The explanations and stories included in this book will provide solace to those who are separated from a loved one. Emotions may vary between tears and tearful joy, but no one who reads this book will regret it. It is a great comfort to know that those we miss are in such a wonderful, happy place with no suffering; only love and joy.

It would be a rare reader who is not inspired to begin laying up treasures in Heaven, anticipating a joyful homecoming.

I was given a free copy of this book by Chosen Books/Baker Publishing for the purpose of review. I highly recommend it to adult and teenage readers and especially for the bereaved.

I found this book to be more than I expected - very encouraging, refreshing, and revealing about eternal life and what awaits us when our flesh dies and we ascend to heaven, as believers in Christ!

I have just finished reading this book and I must say it has been a wonderful experience. Our Bible study group has been doing a series of studies on heaven and I am going to order a copy of this book for each of us because it is so inspiring and answers so many questions. I very highly recommend it to anyone. It takes all the fear out of death and makes you want to go to heaven to be with Jesus.

I loved reading this book. I am looking forward to finding other books mentioned in this one that Betty has written. I would recommend to anybody thinking about this book to buy it and read it. This is a great "sharing" book. Loved it!!

The Glory of Heaven is one of those books that will really make you think about the afterlife - an appropriate train of thought on today, All Saints Day. Betty Malz weaves together Scripture with personal near death experiences from a variety of people to answer questions - and to leave some questions open. She does a good job of balancing ancient verses with modern experience and thought, and is up front when sometimes there are no clear answers.

The book was enjoyable to read. I don't know the truth behind near-death experiences, whether it truly is a glimpse of heaven or whether it's the sub-conscious mind working. I do believe that God can speak to people, and certainly has the power to impress the glories of heaven into the minds of people that are still living. Whatever you believe about the experiences of people who say they've seen heaven, though, it's still fun to wonder.

The questions posed in the book are common questions, some with very intriguing possibilities. For example, in the answer to "Where is heaven?" Malz brings up the wonder and beauty of the Orion Nebula. She also explores relationships, emotions, and some of the nitty-gritty possibilities. Without actually going there, I can't confirm or deny the absolute truth of what she writes, but it's all within the realm of plausible, based on what God has said about heaven. If you've lost a loved one and are curious about what might be going on in heaven with them, or you're just looking to see what others think about heaven, this is a fun book to read.
