Just This Side of Heaven, Book Reviews

Book Reviews

Just This Side of Heaven, is a delightful, heartwarming story. I have had many dogs, cats, and even horses that I have shared my life with. I eventually had to say goodbye to, so it is something I know all to well. Just This Side of Heaven deals with grief, in such a way that it really gives the reader a chance to cry with the author, but then to feel the power of faith, love and healing from the other side. I will definitely encourage my customers to pick up a copy of Just This Side of Heaven!

Whether you are a dog lover or not, Penny will find a way into your heart. This is a well-written book and quick read. Once you start reading it, you won't want to put it down. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because you're definitely going to need them! The author has a wonderful way of telling a story and I can't wait for his next book!

I ordered Just This Side of Heaven, after hearing Timothy Glass on radio station 700 WLW here in Ohio. My Beagle, Rocket, passed 11/11/08. I did not know if I could get through this terrible loss. I thank you so much for your book; it has really helped me to deal with my Rocket's passing. It is reassuring to hear others feel the same about their dogs, I truly loved the book and will most likely read it many times.

For two years, I was unable to deal with the death of my son. I heard you on the radio speaking about your book and purchased it. I honestly do not understand how something so small that you wrote and talked about could make such a difference in my life, but it has. The Dash was what I was missing. Thank you for helping me to understand how important it is to celebrate the life that I miss and not focus on the death.

I once wondered if anyone could possibly put into words what I felt in my heart after the loss of my pug. Thank you for one of the most wonderful books that has come along. I feel as though you read my mind and heart

I heard you talk on the radio recently and felt I should read your book. When the book came in, I sat down and read it from cover to cover. I have to say this book should be in the mainstream on the bookshelves of every bookstore for people who have lost a loved one to read.

Not just for dog lovers! I heard Timothy talk about the dash and purchased the book. His message is full of inspiration, hope and healing for anyone who has lost a loved one or pet.

A must read, no matter what breed of dog you love. I found the chapter on the “Dash” to be powerful and meaningful; not only as a pet lover, but in my own life.

Tim's words echo what we certainly know. Our pets teach us much, love so deeply, and are missed beyond words.

I recommend this book to any pet lover, no matter what breed you have. This book pulled me into the story and is a fast page-turner. What an intuitive and touching way to look at life with our pets.

I am a dog lover, and had lost my beloved bulldog. I came away after reading this book with a healing feeling; not only about my pet, but also the loss of my mother. Thank you for a wonderful book.

A very intuitive journey into living with a pet, loving a pet, and losing a pet. This writer is a page-turner; I could not put this book down, start to finish.

A heartwarming, true story of loyalty, love, courage, and renewal. Just This Side of Heaven is a healing journey for all ages of a bond that transcends the differences between people and their companions, taking readers to a deeper level where all beings live, and die, as one.

I have to say, after reading Marley and Me, I thought there would never again be a book so powerful and touching. I was wrong; Just This Side of Heaven goes beyond and takes an intuitive look at pet companionship and loss.

This is a touching love story between a family and their pet. I felt their joy and pain. A must read for any pet lover.

I felt like a part of the Glass family. This author paints a graphic portrait with each and every word upon the page. I laughed and cried with them.

Be prepared to laugh, cry, and look at the right of passage in a new and different way. A wonderful story told in a masterful way.

The forever-young syndrome that Timothy Glass talks about in the book hits the nail on the head for every pet lover. A must read!
