In her final moments of life Betty connected with her daughter on another continent--setting in motion a chain of surprising and unexpected events. At the exact time Betty began suffocating in her hospital bed in Oregon, her daughter Annie began choking at work in England. Somehow distance no longer mattered and as Betty began to die she was reaching across the heavens to say "goodbye" to her youngest child. Seven days later after her death, extraordinary events began to happen. Annie felt her mother trying to comfort her at night. And this was just the beginning.... Empathically sharing in her mother's death had acted as a catalyst. Instantly, Annie's intuitive and psychic abilities dramatically increased, ultimately leading to a complete renewal of her faith. As a non-believer, Annie was completely transformed. She candidly shares her spiritual, paranormal and heavenly encounters, including verifiable after-death communications, seeing an angel, and "talking" with God. Annie's experiences led her on a journey of investigation. She consulted the world's experts on deathbed coincidences, near-death experiences and after-death communications, including: Dr. Penny Sartori, Dr. Pim van Lommel (author of the bestseller Beyond Consciousness), Dr. Peter Fenwick, Barbara Fenwick, Dr. Bruce Greyson, P.M.H. Atwater, and Barbara Whitfield. Talking with these experts confirmed that Annie's after-effects matched those of someone who had "seen the light" and had a near-death experience (NDE)--although it was her mother who actually died.

Alzheimer's, the frightening disease of aging, is treated heroically in a touching book by a woman who left her important position as Assistant Secretary for Management at the U.S. Department of Treasury to care for her mother. After her mother's medical verdict of increasing memory loss was pronounced, Linda Combs resigned her executive post in Washington, D.C., and moved home to North Carolina.Her familiarity with Alzheimer's prompted Linda Combs to write her book, A Long Goodbye and Beyond, as a resource for other parental caregivers, like herself, who must assist a loved one to pass through the stages of unlovely deterioration.To this book of instruction, courage, kindness, sympathy and loyalty to the idea of a new life beyond, artist Tom Novak lends his marvelous illustrations, which are a tribute to brave souls who have the long loneliness of slow disintegration.

Tim Sledge pulls back the curtain on Southern Baptist life as he chronicles nearly four decades of ministry in this highly personal, sometimes painful, and frequently provocative spiritual autobiography. Part memoir, part expos , part polemic-this is an account of failures as well as accomplishments-and very nearly a case study in how faith may begin, how it evolves, and how it can fall apart. Sledge traces the childhood origins of his sincere faith, his efforts at spiritual obedience, his theological education, his climb up the ladder in ministry, his insights into the challenges of growth-oriented leadership, and his pioneering work in faith-based recovery ministries that ultimately guided participants in 20,000 support groups across the U.S. A recurring theme in his story is coming to grips with the significance of being an adult child of an alcoholic. After a fall from grace and a growing awareness that faith no longer worked for him, his journey took a new direction that required examining alternatives to his former belief system including Deism, agnosticism, humanism, and atheism. Ultimately, he found new ways to live a positive, value-driven life and emerged as a new version of the same person he had always been, still interested in creating avenues for personal growth in the lives of others. Goodbye Jesus is a relatable and thoughtful read for those seeking to better understand the evangelical mindset, for Christians who are questioning their faith, for ministers trying to decide whether to stay or go, and for those who have left their faith and are dealing with its loss.
