In a time when words have no meaning and your loss seems unbearable, this book will ease your pain. Its simple text can be read and understood in 5 minutes by anyone from three years old to 300. The first time I saw this book, it was a gift to my wife after the untimely passing of her mother. Ever since, we buy 5 to 10 copies of this at a time so we always have some on hand to help those we know deal with their losses. It is spiritual without being religious, powerful but simple. Please get at least two copies: one for the reason you need it now, and one for the next time as a gift. You will never regret having read this book or passing on a copy to someone in need...

I read this at a local funeral home while planning my final arrangements. It really touched me. I bought it for my mom who is 87 and has lived in a nursing home for 15+ years. Still in really good shape. Just want to make sure she knows what a beautiful place she will be headed to. Not trying to put a hex on her which I told her. Thank-you.

I love this book! I happened upon it in the children's section at our local library and was determined to buy a copy for myself. The text unfolds like a magical song, literally. Beautiful mosaic borders trim lush pages filled with text that floats, spins, and twirls across each page. Warren Hanson masterfully crafts a world where things are pleasant and simple and perfect. This is a quiet, calm, and vivid book all in one. Not only does "The Next Place" serve as a fantastic children's book, but it makes an outstanding coffee table book for any adult. It is spiritual without being religious, mystical without being flaky, and utterly timeless. This book is a MUST HAVE! I should know--I write children's books, and I am the mother of two. Author, P.

This is my go to book for anyone who is suffering a loss. It is primarily a children's book but the message is so inspiring and the pictures so beautiful that it is a comfort to people of all ages. It is written in such a way that it is not offensive to anyone, no matter their religion preference. In my mind this is much better gift than flowers because it something that can be read again and again, whenever a little pick me up is needed.

I highly recommend this book! Not only are the illustrations beautiful works of art, but the words are perfectly appropriate for the concept. . . of "The Next Place". I keep several copies on hand to share with someone who has perhaps lost a loved one or is facing death himself/herself. The comfort that this book brings provides comfort and peace and soothes sadness and anxiety to both Christians, Jews, or even Atheists. I highly recommend "The Next Place" for those days when doubts assail us humans. God is in control and provides peace.
