The Heavenly Village

Time, in Heaven, is nothing like it is on earth. A millennium can pass in the blink of an eye. But not all people who go to Heaven are ready to give up their earthly understanding of time, or their routines, or the dear ones they have left behind. It is for them that God has created The Heavenly Village, where they can keep half a heart in heaven and the other half on earth until they are ready to move on. Cynthia Rylant describes a cozy, quiet village and the stories of seven people passing through, painting a comforting picture of the journey into afterlife.
