Anticipating Heaven

Spiritual Comfort and Practical Wisdom for Life's Final Chapters

By: Dr. Pamela Pyle, John C. Maxwell

Narrated by: Laura Jennings, John Hopkinson, Dr. Pamela P. Pyle

Is there a way to walk into the final chapters of life with peace and confidence, and with support and wisdom?

We all are living an earthly story with a beginning, middle, and end. While aspects of our story's closing hold mystery, we do not have to feel lost as we move toward it. We instead can lean on the support and wisdom of others who know the path ahead.

In Anticipating Heaven, she offers that same practical advice and spiritual comfort to you and your loved ones as you navigate a serious illness.

Drawing on her years of experience and strong faith, Dr. Pyle will share inspiring patient stories and clear guidance, helping you to

• navigate the world of healthcare with confidence,
• prepare an end-of-life plan with peace,
• remember your heavenly destination with hope,
• embrace the final chapters with love, and
• anticipate the presence of God and your glorified body with joy.

Clarity can replace chaos. Assurance can overcome uncertainty. And love can conquer fear. You are not alone on this path. You are leaving the land of the dying and entering the land of the living, a place God calls home. As one story is closing, a bright new one is beginning.

I didn’t know I needed this book!

Anticipating Heaven written by my childhood friend ,Dr. Pamela Pyle, was an amazing journey into everything that a typical person would go through at their end of life, whether it is something like cancer or another terminal diagnosis. I consider myself to be relatively knowledgeable when it comes to end-of-life information and decisions, however, this book helped me see things that I would not have thought about. I wish that I had had this book when both of my parents passed away more than 10 years ago. Dr.Pyle talks about a “Good death” in her book. I would not classify my dad‘s death as a good death -I was alone with him (I am grateful HE was not alone) but it was very traumatic for me, even as an adult! My mom’s death, on the other hand, was a good death! All of her wishes had been made known and taken care of and all of my mom’s children and many of her grandchildren surrounded her in her last days. Even though both of my parents knew they would be going to Heaven, there was a clear difference in their deaths! One of the most impactful things about this book is the practical application! I highly recommend it…especially when things are calm!
