Intra Muros: Within the Walls of Heaven (Life on Other Worlds) - Softcover

Rebecca Ruter Springer’s 1898 vision of heaven was received as she lay unconscious suffering from a near-fatal illness. For well over a hundred years her inspiring descriptions of reunions with her family and friends on the other side have given hope to many who believed their loved ones to be lost forever. Her story is told through a Christian lens and uses biblical terminology, but the truths it contains are universal and reflect the Christ teachings rather than particular interpretations or practices associated with them. Concerning heavenly churches, Mrs. Springer writes: “But I saw no churches of any kind. At first this somewhat confused me, until I remembered that there are no creeds in heaven, but that all worship together in harmony and love—the children of one and the same loving Father. “Ah,” I thought, “what a pity that that fact, if no other in the great economy of heaven, could not be proclaimed to the inhabitants of earth! How it would do away with the petty contentions, jealousies and rivalries of the church militant! No creeds in heaven! No controverted points of doctrine! No charges of heresy brought by one professed Christian against another! No building up of one denomination upon the ruins or downfall of a different sect! But one great universal brotherhood whose head is Christ, and whose cornerstone is Love.” Do our souls survive death? Spiritualist literature is replete with affirmations transmitted to us through the minds and pens of those who have the ability to receive such information. In addition, we have countless near-death testimonies, among which Intra Muros can be categorized. It is hoped that this little book will provide the reader a satisfying glimpse of the joys and wonders that lie in store for us the next world. * * * The Life on Other Worlds Series is a selection of classic accounts of the afterlife and otherworldly life. Descriptions vary, yet a thread of similarity runs through them all. May they serve as a travel guide as we embark on the greatest adventure of all—the journey into the mysterious realms beyond this world.
