Intra Muros

About this book

During a serious illness, Rebecca Ruter Springer believed she glimpsed another home. In her account, heaven contains familiar places, beloved faces and reunions after death.

Springer describes gardens, buildings and conversations with those who have gone before, presenting the scenes as a remembered personal experience. Her Christian vision centres on love and recognition, with little attention to punishment or elaborate doctrine. The gentleness is the book's distinction: it offers a consoling picture of the afterlife built from the ordinary joys people fear losing.
