I have been around animals all my life and have a deep sense of love for these God created creatures and their amazing gifts to humans. I started a therapy dog ministry in 2007, bringing therapy dogs into hospitals, nursing homes, trauma and disaster sites, and many more places. Spirit-filled volunteers then share God's love, hope, and salvation message. Hundreds of people serve in this wonderful ministry. I have seen people's wonderful compassion and kindness for animals and how they make this world a better place with unconditional love, just like our savior, Jesus Christ. My heart is full of joy and peace when I read these types of books.

I love reading about Heaven. This book is a wonderful journey into what happens when we die. More than ever now, as this world grows darker, we need to think about heaven while we are still on earth. The book walks you through what the Bible says about Heaven and answers many questions that we all have about the afterlife.
