I thoroughly enjoyed reading Dr Hepker’s book, A Glimpse of Heaven, and know I’ll be dipping into it whenever I need to focus on more positive thinking in future. It is a detailed and well written book that provokes deep thought – and it certainly made me think carefully about my own life and where improvements could be made.
The book delves into and analyses the concept of True Health, which is described as ‘a total feeling of health and well-being’. This state can only be reached by taking true responsibility for our own actions, which necessitates that we make a number of healthful changes. The author does not overlook the fact that changes can sometimes be difficult or scary and that True Effort and perseverance are needed in order to succeed. Nor does he omit to stress that there is always room for improvement.
The book guides us through the various changes that can be made, each chapter cleverly building upon and developing the themes of previous chapters. Many changes revolve around our interactions with and support of others – a complex point based on the idea that we are all ‘in the same boat’ and what the author describes as the Golden Rule, ‘Do as you would be done by.’ Other changes involve looking at ourselves as individuals, our level of fitness and eating habits, for example, and the need of improving our ability to care for ourselves rather than relying wholly on the medical care system. We also look closely at our own appreciation of life and the need to enjoy each moment as it comes. If we spend our days forever looking into the past or longing for some future date, we will not find True Happiness.
In summary, this is a wonderful book for promoting positive thinking and the many ways in which people can find true peace and happiness. By looking honestly at ourselves and our lives, taking responsibility for our actions and ‘doing the right thing for the right sake’ we can reach the state of True Health and Wellness and, perhaps, attain a Glimpse of Heaven.
