Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth Hardcover – June 1, 2010

I finished reading Have Heart a few days ago and am happy to add a review of it to Amazon.com. My husband went to Heaven nearly 20 months ago, at the age of 45 after a car accident. I saw a recommendation for this book on someone's Facebook page, and I thought it might help me deal with the absence of my husband in my life here on earth. I already knew that we would see each other again in Heaven, but this book also deals with how to deal with life here without him. I am so thankful for Steve and Sara Berger being willing to write their book and share their pain in order to help others. It helped me tremendously and I want to share it with others who are also suffering the physical loss of a loved one. Thank God that we do have a knowledge that there is eternity to share with our loved ones, but sometimes we still need some help living here until that time comes!This book is easy to read, easy to understand, and invaluable in helping to help hearts heal from a great trauma.

Recently my mother passed away. My father has really had a hard time as they just missed their 50th wedding anniversary. She was in Hospice when she passed so they offered counseling for my father. The Hospice Clergy suggested this book for him to read. My father always believed but never sought out organized religion. He was looking for answers and just couldn't seem to find what he was looking for.I've never seen my father read a book in my 49 years, but in the past couple for months I've seen him read 4 books and he just purchased a large print Bible and has started reading a little everyday.My point..... This book really seemed to answer the questions he had. It seemed to comfort him somehow. So much that he had me purchase another one to donate it to Hospice. I have his copy now and have just started reading it. I think this is a great purchase if you lost or know someone who has lost a loved one. A easy read, not overwhelming at all.

Having experienced two miscarriages and one fetal demise I knew our babies were in Heaven but I had never really thought about what they were doing there. Knowing that those innocents and Christ Followers who proceed us to Heaven are busy going about the Lord's work is very exciting to me!Before reading Steve and Sarah's book, so many aspects of dying felt like such an unknown. This book has been, not only comforting, but a revelation! Immediately I purchased five more books to give to one of our pastor's and friends who had loved ones proceed them to Heaven - we can all rejoice having read how the gulf between Heaven and Earth has been bridged. We can be even more excited about our eternal destiny because Steve and Sarah have articulated the truth! Praise God for what He has done through Josiah's life on Earth and Heaven, for his family, and his friends!

I have purchased this book several times for friends and family. It is honestly one of the most inspirational books ever written concerning the loss of a loved one. Special sincere thank you to Sarah and Steve for outpouring thier own grief to help others. God bless you both for writing such an incredible legacy for Josiah. Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

I downloaded this book because it was recommended by another grieving mother to me to help me get through my grieving! I I enjoyed the candid way in which these parents tell their story. It helps to know that some of the stranger experiences you have in your journey of grieving, are pretty common to most parents who have lost children. I think that the authors have a remarkable relationship with Jesus Christ and He has ministered to them uniquely for their grief. Everyone is different, so don't beat yourself up because of the way you are mourning or the speed or lack thereof at which you are coming to terms with the death. So who would I recommend this book to - mature Christians who have a good relationship with Christ, so that the spirit testifies within you as you read and you can discern what to absorb and what to reject.

I too lost a son....so I'm also on this grief journey.....it's very helpful to hear the stories from other parents on this journey also

I first heard of this book when the author spoke with me at a seminar. We both lost loved ones on August 14th and discussed that common thread and how much we missed them. He expressed that this book would help with my grief and was totally on target. I've read it 4 times and have paid forward his gift by giving the book to other friends/family who are grieving. It is such a heartfelt path to where our loved ones are and how to deal with that.
