Wow I hope this is true! I was much moved by the ideas given here. That we really don't die, that we can be of comfort to living and "dead", that we can see God about His work. I am willing to take up the experiment who would it hurt? What a great comfort this has already been to me - just the thought of it. Dec 02, Marsha Gulick rated it it was amazing.

Actually I liked the movie better, called A Rumor of Angels. Usually I don't say this, but I found that the movie explored the themes of connections which survive death. In a very lovely manner. Perhaps I was spoiled by the movie, and expected more development of relationship between living people, but it was more an exploration of the possibility or in the author's opinion, the truth of life after death.
A mother's love. Is there such a thing as death? Who knows. Perhaps this good woman, connected even after his passing with her cherished boy. Is it all true? I dunno, but if it's not it should be. What I do know is that their story brought me peace and joy. And that is a gift beyond measure. Good, quick read. Recommended for anyone who has EVER lost someone they love.
Originally published in , this little book of letters from a WWI fallen soldier to his grieving mother was meant to be a gift to any mother who found themselves experiencing the horror of a sudden death of their child. Actually, the message was so much more than restating the law of physics.
It was chilling from start to finish! Goosebump chilling. In the very beginning of the book, Mrs. Duffie Boylan explains that Bob and she had more of a friendship because she allowed him to teach her how to use the telegram machine or wireless. It was a language that she didn't learn easily but she stuck with it because it meant so much to her son.
Many years later, she made the connection In this case, the "creator" knew that she would need these skills in order to communicate with her son beyond the grave. The communication that they shared even served a larger plan and that was to help others through their grief. Bob explained more than a few times that every time someone here on earth grieves or sheds a tear over their loved one, it hurts the deceased in a way that couldn't be described.
The pain that our deceased loves feel hinder their work on the other side. And speaking of the "other side" Bob had only experienced one of these worlds. In the time period that this book covers, Bob told his mother that he didn't witness a "hell" as we've been taught exists.
He admitted several times that he was still learning and hadn't experienced every wonderful or bad thing that these worlds had to offer. He hoped that he'd be able to keep communicating with her as he "progressed". He wanted her to understand so that she could tell others.
And he wanted her to make the book so affordable that everyone who needed this kind of comfort could read it basically, sell it at cost. Greed or vanity had nothing to do with Grace Duffie Boylan's reasons to publish such a personal journey. In fact, she was terrified of the ridicule she may suffer from some of her peers so she published "Anonymously" at first. A hundred years later and the message is still helping people like me come to terms with the hole that's left when a loved one "crosses the line" dies.
I'm so thankful she had the courage to honor her son's wishes and fulfill one of their purposes. How do I put into words how much a tiny little pocket book moved me? Maybe I shouldn't have tried but on the other hand Don't judge by my less than adequate review, just get the book and let it speak for itself!
For All Who. Grieve I read this book after I watched the movie, Rumors of Angels, from which the movie was derived. I was very curious about the way the idea was developed in the movie and there was mention of the name of the book in the credits of the movie.
I liked the movie very much but the book makes understanding the motivation of the movie even better. The book was anonymously written during the first World War from messages sent to his mother from her son who was killed in that war. These For All Who. These messages were sent to his mother after his death to let her know there is no "death" but only transition from our body to a spiritual form and that there is no fear in death, but only joy..
There is confirmation of the afterlife and the Bible is mentioned in the soldier's messages. It is up to each reader to take the message revealed by the author and take what comfort and belief as they will.
Also, don't misreading the Introduction as it will help you gain some insight into the book's content. I hope you find the book helpful. I would recommend the movie made in as well. The movie references this book and is based on the theme of this book.
I loved the movie and loved this book even more. This is a true story about a mother that teaches her young son to signal using signal lights. He loves this fun method of communication, like a secret code.
He becomes a man and goes to war and is a signal-man of course! He is killed in battle and communicates that to his mother right after th absolutely beautiful book I read this book after watching the movie Rumor of Angels. He is killed in battle and communicates that to his mother right after the fact.
He instructs her to write a book with the messages of hope to ease the pain of other families that have lost loved ones. He tells of what it's like for him on earth now that he has passed. God is at work and he is part of it.
So are all that have passed. This is a quick read and it's central message is clear. Our loved ones are not gone. They are here and we don't need hocus pocus to speak to them. There is no death I have always believed in the afterlife, thought I could not say exactly what it is.
I just always KNEW that the spirit that animates us is eternal. This book offers comfort to those who grieve. While many would call this whole notion of after death communication hooey, physics is proving how little we truly know about how our vast universe works. My There is no death I have always believed in the afterlife, thought I could not say exactly what it is.
My intuition tells me such communication is possible for all of us. A short book, easy read The son appeared to waver between a belief in Christianity and Agnosticism. But for the price and information, I enjoyed the book. Oct 01, Rachel rated it liked it Shelves: giveaways. I received this book for free from Goodreads First Reads.
