Touching Heaven: Real Stories of Children, Life, and Eternity
Ebook
Children have always been close to the heart of God. It is when
children are sick, even dying, that they can suddenly bring us
closer to God ourselves.
Children's minister and former children's hospital chaplain Leanne
Hadley has been ministering to hurting children for years. In
Touching Heaven, she recounts the poignant stories and
simple faith of the remarkable children she has been privileged to
serve. She shares their encounters with God, Jesus, and angels. And
with humor and tenderness, she offers their inspiring testimonies
to the presence of God in our lives--even as earthly life is
ending.
Anyone who has lost a child or another loved one, or anyone who is
currently supporting a dying person along the journey, will find in
these stories comfort, inspiration, and hope of everlasting
life.

"In this book of prodigious beauty and power, richer for each
rereading, Leanne Hadley has once again proved her contention that
children are spiritual beings bearing gifts of tremendous power and
theological insight. These humane, harrowing, haunting,
hair-raising stories will rock your world. I know I will never be
the same again after reading Touching Heaven."--Leonard
