Brand: White Crow Productions Ltd
Product Description
Rebecca Ruter Springer was 29 when the American Civil War started in 1861. When the war ended five years later 620000 soldiers and countless civilians lay dead. It is not surprising therefore that the dead and heaven were much considered over the next forty years in the USA. And it was this spiritual climate that created Springers classic Intra Muros or as it is now generally known My dream of heaven. Rebecca was born in 1832 in Indianapolis Indiana the daughter of a Methodist clergyman she graduated from the Wesleyan Female College in 1850 and Methodist Christianity remained her spiritual home. In 1859 two years before the Civil War she married William Springer who went on to become a lawyer and member of the Illinois General Assembly. They had one son also called William but Rebeccas health was never good and described by one person as feeble. In 1868 the couple went on a twoyear European tour to improve her health but it remained poor until her death. It was amidst ill health that her classic work was born. Intra Muros Between the walls or My Dream of heaven was written in 1898. It was a vision given to her during severe illness and she was unconscious for some days as she received the vision which in the telling covers a period of years. On reflection she came to understand the short book as a series of basic truths about heaven offering readers both confidence that God had prepared a place for them and that awaiting them there was a wonderful reunion with loved ones who had gone before. show more
