Waiting To Go

The first time I saw Pete, I thought he looked like a total fool. I was seventeen years old, out of high school, and working at my first job in Springfield, Illinois. Pete was a twenty-year-old college student, and he was thrashing about without any rhythm. It was obvious that he thought he was pretty cool. He was a total turn-off, but little did I know...we would fall in love. While Waiting for Pete to go Home, Donna Mander-Fiser experienced over a year of doubt and frustration. She treaded lonely and unfamiliar waters while caring for her husband in his dying days. She could never have imagined the unresponsive reaction of some friends and the fear of feeling single again. After Pete's death, Donna took comfort in memories of the life she and Pete shared by reminiscing about wedding anniversaries, family traditions, and Pete's fantastically told stories. Join first-time author Donna Mander-Fiser as she learns how to cope with illness, losing a loved one, and finally regaining her own life.

Experiencing the death of someone very close to you can be devastating. Whether the death is sudden or gradual, feelings of aloneness and fear immediately enter one’s heart. Sometimes the grief can be overwhelming and crippling. Moving through this type of grief and returning to living one’s own life again may take months to years. There are some who never move through their grief and never return to their own life. In Go to the Tree, the angels address many different types of transitions to heaven that occur on earth. In so doing, the angels attempt to capture the attention of all those who are grieving who believe their grief is unique to them alone. The angels show that all grief on earth is meaningful to them as they spread their wings around all who are grieving and bring them God’s healing love. This book is a unique approach intended to help with the grieving process. It is personal and direct. It is meant not only for those who are personally hurting with grief, but also to give everyone a clearer understanding and perspective of death. It is also a peak into the ‘crossing over’ process. Go to the Tree is similar to Theresa’s third book, Whispering Messages, in that it should be read slowly and thoughtfully. Read only one or two events at a time and then reflect on the passage and the following letters contained in each. Each message in Go to the Tree is unique to the individual reading them. This is Theresa’s fifth book of working with the angels. The Enlightened Series, Hear Their Voices, Receive Their Messages and See Their Miracles, is a trilogy of short stories narrated by the angels that encompasses life’s many hardships and the choices people make to try to make their way through life.

In this intimate book of inspiration, Tyler Perry writes of how his faith has sustained him in hard times, centered him in good times, and enriched his life. Higher Is Waiting is a spiritual guidebook, a collection of teachings culled from the experiences of a lifetime, meant to inspire readers to climb higher in their own lives and pull themselves up to a better, more fulfilling place. Beginning with his earliest memories of growing up a shy boy in New Orleans, Perry recalls the moments of grace and beauty in a childhood marked by brutality, deprivation, and fear. With tenderness he sketches portraits of the people who sustained him and taught him indelible lessons about integrity, trust in God, and the power of forgiveness: his aunt Mae, who cared for her grandfather, who was born a slave, and sewed quilts that told a story of generations; Mr. Butler, a blind man of remarkable dignity and elegance, who sold penny candies on a street corner; and his beloved mother, Maxine, who endured abuse, financial hardship, and the daily injustices of growing up in the Jim Crow South yet whose fierce love for her son burned bright and never dimmed. Perry writes of how he nurtured his dreams and discovered solace in nature, and of his resolute determination to reach ever higher. Perry vividly and movingly describes his growing awareness of God’s presence in his life, how he learned to tune in to His voice, to persevere through hard times, and to choose faith over fear. Here he is: the devoted son, the loving father, the steadfast friend, the naturalist, the philanthropist, the creative spirit—a man whose life lessons and insights into scripture are a gift offered with generosity, humility, and love.

A perennial favorite, Dr. Seuss’s wonderfully wise graduation speech is the perfect send-off for children starting out in the world, be they nursery school, high school, or college grads!
