About the Author

Rebecca Ruter Springer's vision of heaven was first published in the early 1900s. Mrs. Springer was unconscious for some days while the vision was unveiled to her; the vision itself covers a period of years. Rebecca Springer said that each person would need to draw his or her own conclusions about the vision, but that she had reported it as it had come to her at the time. She came to understand the vision as a series of basic instructions about heaven rather than a revelation of the past or future. She said the initial instructions from the vision came in the form of illustrations, in a style as if one were teaching truths to children. Then the application and meaning of these illustrations were given. Rebecca wrote, "I am painfully aware of the fact that I can never paint for others the scenes as they appeared to me during those wonderful days . . .With the hope that it may comfort and uplift some who read, even as it then did, and as its memory ever will do for me, I submit this imperfect sketch of a most perfect vision."

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely comforting when you lose a loved one, January 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Within Heaven's Gates (Originally Entitled Intra Muros) (Paperback)

This book is about the author's out of body experience and visit to heaven. I found it to be basically scriptural. There were a couple things I questioned but she herself wrote that she was writing from memory.

I have just lost my 13 yr. old granddaughter and the book was so very comforting as it told of the great love of God and written with an anointing that lets you feel God's love. It describes the Glory of God and the wonder of Heaven.

This book also confirms that we will, indeed see our loved ones who are in Heaven again. (providing they are born again and in heaven).

Many people I know who have read this book, including myself found it difficult to put it down. I found it to hold my interest and I was able to visualize myself right there with the author in Heaven.

I would recomment this to anyone. Especially to those who have lost a loved one.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Dream Of Heaven, January 29, 2003

By 

Mary Hess (St. Peters, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Within Heaven's Gates (Originally Entitled Intra Muros) (Paperback)

Five years ago I lost my mother and my father on the same day due to heart attacks within 15 minutes of each other. Two years ago I lost my 30 year old son in an auto accident. This book is the best book I have ever read other than the Bible itself. I believe that dreams and visions can be sent by God to comfort you in times of grief. This book was such an eye opener for me.
It allows you to visualize Heaven with new meaning and comfort.
I have found so much comfort in this book. I don't know why so many people are afraid to die when Heaven sounds better to me every day of my life. I would recommend it to anyone even if they have not experienced a close death dear to their heart.
I absolutely loved it.

This review is from: Within Heaven's Gates (Originally Entitled Intra Muros) (Paperback)

Formerly titled "Intra Muros"

One of the first accounts of near death experience written by Rebecca Springer and published by David C. Cook in 1898.

I was fortunate to find this book at a yard sale and almost didn't take the time to look inside, since I couldn't translate the title. What a gem and so well written with wonderful detail of Ms Springer's visions on the other side of the veil.

During a very severe illness, Rebecca found herself alone with no one at her side and needing comfort turned to Jesus. Jesus was at her side and led her to the "promised land" where she was taken to visit relatives and friends who had passed over.

Her description of several "mansions" that have been prepared for the newly departed is very comforting and one realizes that we are just a "heartbeat" away from the other side.

The "refreshing water" from the lake where one is renewed and refreshed after passing over is very illuminating.

The various duties that one is given like helping those who are coming over and the "reunion" scenes are very enlightening.

Having had a near death experience in 1974, I can testify that this is "real" and very much in harmony with my own experiences.

I no longer fear death and was able to review my life and come to the understanding that "love" is the answer to living. Giving and receiving love and Jesus is here to love us unconditionally and to accept us in all our humanity.
