This beautifully crafted memoir explores the life of the Reverend
Howard William Brown, a senior pastor with the United Methodist
Church, with powerful stories of one man's inner quest to grasp the
very nature of eternity. "When I Get to Heaven" achieves a
memorable portrait of Reverend Brown's dynamic spiritual journey,
from his early childhood memories to an enlightened vision of the
great beyond. Penned in the final year of his life, the book
reveals deep insights into the 'great spirit of expectation' that
captivates us while on earth and illuminates our path toward life
eternal. From his last notes:
I am not afraid of my journey past this life. Heaven is
wonderful and I could talk forever about eternity, but I will only
say that I am not afraid to go on. How did I come to be a believer?
The walk I have taken began in a crowded bakery in the 1930s in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I stood in line for my mother,
waiting nervously to order one dozen coconut jelly cakes. Somehow,
I found my way, many years later, to the steps of Drew Seminary
where I found the grace and the words to begin to become a
preacher. Yet there was more to come much more before I would step
into my first pulpit. As life would have it, I would go off to war
to find the prayer I did not know was in me, the prayer that would
lead me to the ministry but that was years away, and I still had
many life lessons to learn.
