Book Description
The experience of the afterlife is, normally, considered to take place after death. Death is seen as a wall of partition between those living and those departed. “Dead and gone” are words often used to describe the departed. The writer of these poems was at his wife’s bedside when she took her last breath. Anyone observing the horror and desperation the author expressed at that moment would have concluded that he truly believed his wife was dead and gone. In fact, he did believe she was dead and gone. A grief counselor suggested to the new widower that he keep a journal of his experience. He started keeping a journal which, from the start, was a dialogue between him and his “departed” wife. The prose dialogue soon became peppered with poems. The widower began to notice that there were, sometimes, correlations between what was written in the poems and his daily experience. The poems and his daily experience became for the new widower proof enough that the afterlife can be experienced this side of the grave.

On the darkest day in history a beaten, discredited, rabbi called Jesus showed us what love was all about and as He died the death of a common criminal claimed ultimate victory over sin, death, and hell. In seven statements, most of them not addressed to anyone on earth, He teaches us how to live with peace, joy, and satisfaction. Hear Him speak anew about: Real forgiveness, "Father, forgive..." Hope that transcends even death, "Today you will be with me..." Serving with real grace, "Woman, Behold your son..." Full comfort for every crisis, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken..." A real, living Savior, "I thirst" Trust that never fails, "Father, into thy hands..." Victory that is unbelievable but true, "It is finished" In Seven Words of Love, Pastor Ernie Shipe takes you up Golgotha's hill so that you can see, hear, even smell the crackling emotion of the hate of the temple leaders, the passion of the crowd, the fear and heartbreak of the five pathetic figures standing near the foot of the center cross, the bitter indifference of the soldiers, and the excruciating agony of the three dying men.
