Elizabeth R. SkoglundRezensionen

This passage made me want to get the book:

Asks Amma: "Shall we know one another in Heaven? Shall we love and remember?"....
....
The wise old PILGRIM'S PROGRESS has something about this: Valiant-for-truth says, 'Some make a question whether we shall know one another when we are there.' To this Great-heart replies, 'Do you think they shall know themselves then, or that they shall rejoice to see themselves in that bliss? and [sic] if they think they shall know and do these, why no know others, and rejoice in their welfare also?' And Secret, speaking to Christiana says, 'They will all be glad when they hear the sound of thy feet step over thy Father's threshold.' We know that our loved ones who have gone before will be glad when they hear the sound of our feet on the threshold; and we know that we shall all be glad together when we gather in our Father's House, where 'there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.' " (Rev. 21.4; p. 94)

Finding Refuge in Times of Turmoil

A helpful, encouraging book especially for those in what Skoglund calls the third-quarter of life--age 50-75--which she feels is the time of peak productivity in a person's life. She speaks of the choices we have--what mental tapes to play in our minds--fearful, negative or grateful and contented. She speaks of safety zones--financial, dignity, memories and meaning. She always encourages those who are growing older to be independent, useful and productive to the end. Written by someone with much experience from life and from her counseling sessions.
