Description
2020 Reprint of the 1898 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Subtitled My Dream of Heaven and At a time before popular discussion of and research into near death and after life experiences was in the popular consciousness, Rebecca Springer courageously and faithfully penned this account of her own passing "into the light.
Arranged in chapters as a loose narrative, Intra Muros comprises a series of dreamlike episodes and reflections upon the essence of life, death and what comes next after we perish. Steeped in the Christian tradition, the author's narration discusses the spiritual planes that follow death, and her descriptions of heaven are evocative and reassuring.
The appearance of the heavenly realms, the blessings of the angelic spirits, and the journey the believer's souls render the author's words profound and evocative. The imagery is vast in scope, yet the emotional comfort she provides remains constant. For Christians who are bereaved through the harrowing experience of loss this comfort is especially welcome.
Rebecca Ruter Springer was a poet and author who published fictional stories and verses. Much-liked and gentle of nature, she suffered from infirmity of health for decades, and her condition was often infirm. This fragility occasioned her to contemplate death and the path the soul takes after the body expires; these reflections resulted in Intra Muros, which has been consulted by Christians ever since.
