The Hope of Heaven: God's Eight Messages of Assurance to a Grieving Father
by Alan M. Hallene, Jr. with Erin Keeley Marshall - Christian, Nonfiction

Al Hallene discovered his college-student son’s body after Alex hanged himself. While Al waited for the authorities to arrive, he had 10 minutes alone with his son. During that wrenching time, God gave Al eight visions of heaven, where the father and son would someday reunite. As Al recounts those heartening and healing moments, readers are reminded of the affirming hope that Christians share even while asking the real questions tragedy raises: Will we see our lost loved ones again? Does God care about our pain? What does this mean for us now?
