Dotknąć Nieba
"Umarłem i pamiętam to bardzo wyraźnie", powiedział Bernie do swojej żony, Judy, po tym jak przebudził się z sześciotygodniowej śpiączki, spowodowanej przez rozległy atak serca i niewydolność wielonarządową. "Podążałem w kierunku światła, które prowadziło do Nieba. Kiedy dotarłem do bram Nieba, nie mogłem wejść do środka". Wyrusz wraz z Bernim w tę zadziwiającą podróż do Nieba i z powrotem. Powrócił on do życia, aby podzielić się opowieścią o swym dramatycznym spotkaniu z Jezusem. Spotkaniu, które doprowadziło go do radykalnego nawrócenia. Spowodowało też głębsze nawrócenie jego żony, autorki tej książki, która nauczyła się, jak pozbyć się lęku i kompletnie poddać woli Bożej.
Jeśli kiedykolwiek miałeś momenty zwątpienia w swoim małżeństwie, jeśli kiedykolwiek zastanawiałeś się, czy jesteś dobrym rodzicem, jeśli kiedykolwiek zadawałeś Bogu pytania: "Dlaczego ja, Panie?", ta książka jest właśnie dla Ciebie.
Dotknąć Nieba pokazuje, że mimo iż życie naprawdę czasem daje nam w kość, cuda są możliwe. To mocne, poruszające i autentyczne świadectwo rodziny, która w obliczu spadających na nią kolejnych nieszczęść odkrywa głębię Bożego miłosierdzia i Jego niesamowitą moc.

Your book strengthened my faith and encourages me to continue to hold on to the Zephyr ride that my life has become over these last few years. Like the author, my hopes and dreams for my life has not equalled to the equation that I'd strived for and I find myself surrendering to His will and trusting Romans 8:28. This book was so heartfelt and easy to read. It made me smile and brought me to tears but most importantly it renewed my strength and my faith. It made me appreciate your state, our Catholic heritage and our j'our defense vivre! Thank you and please know that you fulfilled Bernie's wish to get the message out.

February 14, 2016Didn't finish the book, I think I kind of lost interest after a few chapters. Too much long drawn out drama.

Judy and her husband have drifted from their Catholic Faith. Bernie's sister has stayed true to the faith they were all raised in. Now that they are older and expecting a grandchild - Judy is searching for faith. The day Judy takes their daughter to her mid-wife to give birth with Judy as her coach, Bernie has a massive heart attack. The mid-wife and the hospital Bernie was taken to are not close. Judy decides to go to her husband. He spends 6 weeks on life-support and comatose. Judy is so scared and can't imagine her life without Bernie. Bernie awakes and talks to Judy about meeting Jesus. This "meeting" radically changes him and he wants a priest. Bernie's message from the other side strengthens Judy's faith and they both return to the Catholic faith together. They surrender to God's love and peace. There are tears, laughs, and crises throughout the reading of this memoir.
My takeaway from reading this - God answers prayers in His time and in His way.

Amazing message of God's love. My sister recommended this book and when she explained that
Bernie doesn't survive and being an RN she
was convinced only a family with political position would receive such extraordinary treatment to begin with ,well I almost didn't read it. But the real story transcends socioeconomic privilege and offers the beautiful truth of our merciful God who offers salvation and spiritual healing to all. The beauty of our Church and our interconnection is so lovingly depicted. So grateful to have read it.

An amazing book, anyone could relate to this book on so many different levels. The story of a family, the reality of their truth, and love for God. After years of prayer, Judy finds her desperately ill husband has received a second chance and has a deeply personal encounter with God, in Heaven. This story is so real, so tangible and so universal. The "trip" Bernie takes will restore your soul, bring peace to your heart. All the while you say this could be me, and the fruition of my prayers.

Great story of loving within suffering!
This story moved me to tears! The trials in life are depicted in loving and moving ways! The tragedy of how death separates us for a time is shared beautifully. The beauty of family love despite our individual differences that often cause conflict are portrayed honestly and sincerely. This story will inspire you to love God and neighbor with your whole heart.

July 14, 2016Just like other reviews, I too found once I started to read this story I couldn't put it down. I felt part of the family riding the roller coaster of emotions that they all endured. At first I thought the daily inclusion of her updates to family a bit superfluous but then I realized how much I needed to be reminded of what I just read.
Highly recommend reading it.

LOVELY TRUE STORY OF GOD' GRACE.
Judy Klein shares the story of her husband's difficult illness with such poignant sentiments that I felt I was standing next to her. Her great devotion to God is heart-warming, and her writing style is polished and professional.

Of course I'm a Catholic so I loved it and understood it all. However, I think Judy does a great job at explaining things so that anyone can understand why we pray like we do. While death is sad, I think this story can give us all great hope.

Beautiful faith inspiring read
Although this story is ultimately about death there is as much about living in it as well. Living fully and finding hope in love and family and in Jesus Christ!

This is a fast read because it's hard to put down. It would be a perfect read for anyone questioning why bad things happen to good people and how to persevere.
