Words of Praise forHeaven Without Her

This is a wonderful book to give to someone who is seeking the truth and asking the hard questions. It is honest, thought-provoking, witty, at times very moving, and is truly written by someone who can say been there, and done that.

If ever youve wondered if the God who waylaid Jacob in his scheming, or interrupted Balaam in his cursing, or ambushed Paul in his crusading, or accosted Hagar in her despairing is still on the job, read this: Kittys tale of Gods surprising and abrupt pursuit of her, hard on the heels of her beloved mothers death, is a wonder of storytelling and a testament of grace. What joy and terror it evokes, to know this God is out there and on the loose, able to turn even the stoniest heart to flesh.

Typically people formulate opinions, gather allies, and then maybe sort through the evidence. It is true on both sides of the evolution debate, as well as the global-warming, crime-and-punishment, and existence-of-God debates. [Foth-Regner] studied the evidence before she decided which side she wanted to play for. This book may or may not persuade you, but you should read it.

Michael Cronin

As a former Methodist Sunday school teacher who had been baptized Presbyterian, and someone who has coasted through the various stages of wonder and doubt as an agnostic, atheist, secular humanist, and follower of the Just-in-Case denomination, I find my consciousness has been raised by Foth-Regner, in ways that make me think I must re-examine what I believe.

Victoria Powell, editor/writer

Unlike those of us who have lived within the arms of Christianity since infancy, Kitty had to fight for her faith, inch by grueling inch. Her journey, battling years of skepticism and headstrong refusal to listen to the Voice shouting in her ear, is an inspiration to all Christians. You will make a mental list of people you want to give this book to.

Heaven Without Her is a compelling read that grips the reader from the opening line and doesnt let go until the closing word! Those who have struggled to embrace God as He is portrayed in the Bible will find in Kitty Foth-Regner a faithful and compassionate guide for the journey from skepticism to full-orbed faith.

Talk about a Godsend. Kitty Foth-Regners book should be read by any woman (like me) who thought she found all the answers by becoming liberated. Kittys story is one of heartbreaking loss, but also of victory and joy, which she found when her study of the Bible ultimately led her to the real truthin the Lord. I highly recommend it.

JoAnn Petaschnick, writer/editor

If you think that science has proven God unnecessary and the Bible irrelevant, you owe it to yourself to read this book. It offers powerful proof that even a committed Betty Friedan feminist can find her way to eternal truth if shes willing to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

This is a fantastic book about one womans journey from feminism to faith, told in a transparent and captivating life story. You will leave no page unturned! She rationally analyzes the philosophies and religions advocated to her throughout her all-consuming and heart-wrenching journey for the truthand in the end proves that it is found only in Jesus Christ! This book would be a great gift for others who are searching for the truth.

Attorney Lana Lee McLario Helm

I believe this memoir mirrors the experience of so many women who are left spiritually empty-handed at the end of the day. And it will resonate especially with anyone who, in grieving, has wondered about the realities of heaven. The author grants us an intimate and poignant view of her own loss and spiritual struggle. Then, with the tenacity of a bestselling crime-solver, she sorts through and compiles evidence for faith in Christ that ultimately cannot be dismissed. This book is a must read for the discriminating seeker.

Kitty Foth-Regners account of her conversion to Christ is a profound testimony of what happens when the Holy Spirit goes to work through the Word and the faithful witness of other believers. The authors life story is a ringing tribute to the power of the risen Christ.

Exhaustively revisiting and cataloging the events of her own life, Foth-Regner concludes that the problem that had no name actually has onenamely, separation from Godand its solution is faith.

I admire the literary thoroughness of Foth-Regners entry into faith. She reads todays popular Christian canoneverything from C. S. Lewis to Josh McDowell and the writings of the creation debatein her determination to build a real faith out of the scraps of her yearnings.

Patty Kirk

Like the author, I spent more than three decades believing I was free and unbound by limitations because I had chosen a path that entitled me to pursue, achieve, and conquer anything my heart desired. And like Foth-Regner, I found myself empty and unsatisfied with all my conquests and achievements. It was a thrill to be invited into this delightful memoir of the determined, analytical search of one who, with all her heart, desperately wanted to know the truth, and who inevitably found it in the God who has revealed Himself in the Holy Bible.

Paula M. Haberman (nee Sobczyk)

Heaven Without Her is just the sort of page-turning memoir I wait for and savor. A candid, moving, funny, beautifully written journey of one daughters climb out of radical feminism and empty agnosticism on the backs of brilliant Christian thinkers, and the loving legacy of her mothers faith. Simply profound.

Heaven Without Her is a fascinating chronicle of a seekers journey to faith in Christ. This is a real page turner, not only because Foth-Regner has written in such an engaging style, but because she has written about what everyone is looking forGod, meaning, and eternal life. This is a great book to give to intelligent seekers!

Witty and penetrating, this conversion story will give you fresh insights into how to communicate your faith. Kitty Foth-Regner offers a poignant account of her grief over her mothers death, which sent her on an intense spiritual search. But her irrepressible spirit bubbles up in hilariously funny conversations with her worldly friends as she explores religious questions and discovers that there are good reasons for accepting Gods Word as true.

If youve ever found yourself privately wondering whether there might be something beyond the here and now, or whether the ancient Christian faith holds any relevance for today, I urge you to read Kittys account of her own spiritual journey. It has relevance to all of us.
