GlimpsesOfHeaven-webGlimpses of Heaven, a 2008 book by former hospice nurse Trudy Harris, has been featured on two New York Times lists. The Revell/Baker Publishing Group title placed 11th on the E-book list and 24th on the Combined Print & E-book list, reflecting sales for the week ending Aug. 23.

With more than 200,000 copies in print, continued sales of Glimpses of Heaven show there is continued interest in the afterlife. In the book, Harris shares the final words and visions of terminally ill and dying people in more than 40 true stories that give a reassuring picture of life’s end.

Don Piper, author of the New York Times best-seller 90 Minutes in Heaven wrote in the foreword: “As a hospice nurse, Trudy has seen and heard things that cannot be explained in human terms. In these spiritual moments, between earthly and eternal life, she has seen God at work over and over again.”

Harris also wrote a follow-up book, More Glimpses of Heaven, published by Revell in 2010, which includes more stories of her experience working with patients in hospice care.
