Rating:  Summary: The perfect book for someone that has lost someone they love Review: I've never seen a book that completely conveys a message as well as "The Next Place." The text combines with the author's beautiful illustrations to provide a sense of peace to anyone that has lost someone that they love.I first read this book by myself, then shared it with my teenage daughter. We have both found comfort in it.
Rating:  Summary: A comforting vision of the hereafter Review: I recently lost my wife of 41 years unexpectantly. Although we had talked about the after life within the context of our faith, nothing can really prepare one for the reality of losing someone you love. I found this book, which was given to me by a friend, to be a compelling and comforting vision. It was truly a soothing balm for my dispairing heart.
Rating:  Summary: Very emotional in a peaceful way. Review: I am a 17 year girl and recently, my great-grandma died. My family went to her town for the funeral and to support her companion of 21 years, Ben. We had heard of this book before, so we thought it would be helpful to buy it for Ben. Towards the end of the funeral, I had a sudden sensation to share the book with everyone there. So I asked the minister and he called me up and I read the whole book at the funeral. It was a very touching experience to everyone present. This book brings peace and closure to those grieving the loss of a loved one.
Rating:  Summary: A Gift Of Hope!! Review: My aunt recently died after an eight month battle with a brain tumor. At the wake, her sister-in-law brought this book to my aunt's two adult daughters. What a gift! It harbors such hope and comfort. I appreciate the manner in which Mr. Hanson explains what we all have to look forward to. I know my aunt is somewhere else right now but also lives in all of our hearts forever.
