Book Review: We Lived in Heaven

Win a copy of this book! All you have to do is post a comment. 



From the back cover, a description of the book: 

a  . . . collection of accounts of families who have had the opportunity 
to meet the souls of their sons and daughters before they were born. . . . 
vivid memories of life in heaven by young children, 
and dramatic stories of prayers answered 
by guardian angels who watch over us.
Discover:
  • a letter from a mother to her son, whom she gave up for adoption, telling him of the dream that guided her through that painful decision.
  • a kidnapped child who survived her ordeal by the guiding hand of the baby sister who would be born years later.  
  • A little boy's memory of being brought to earth by his grandfather - a man he never knew. 
  • A woman's vision of a child in a garden, and the powerful certainty that he was her son, waiting his turn to come into this world.

Book Review: 

             We Lived in Heaven is a fascinating collection of accounts describing encounters with children before they were born, as well as accounts of young children's memories of premortal life. It is inspiring and insightful and reminds us how precious each of these little souls is, and  how very thin the veil between mortal life and immortality can be.

Carolyn Campbell I don't know how to comment on the blog, but my comment would be that I had the privilege of talking to Sarah Hinze many years ago and I was impressed by her sensitivity, insight, gentleness, introspection and writing talent...she is one of a kind and an incisive soul....

A wonderful review, Janet. I am looking forward to reading this book. By the way, I have enjoyed your books also. Love the humor and storyline of "Don't you Marry the Mormon Boys"

How does she collect these stories? Is it word of mouth and interviews I wonder.

Sounds like word of mouth, also from classes and presentations.

I felt inspired just from reading the brief excerpts of some of the included stories. I would love to read this book.
