Rita R. Bennett Collection

A new Look at the News As Seen Through a Christian’s Eyes, is a compilation of 190 columns Dr. Bennett wrote for The Edmonds Beacon newspaper in her home state of Washington. The columns are organized into Biblical topics and grouped into study series, such as the armor of God, the Beatitudes, and Psalm 23.

As Rita Bennett was being born, her mother had a near-death experience; she saw the pearly gates and the golden streets of Heaven. On November 1, 1991, Rita's beloved husband of twenty-five years, the Rev. Dennis J. Bennett, went to be with the Lord. Because of these experiences and many others, Rita grew determined to learn more about Heaven and eternal life. Heaven Tours provides the reader with glimpses into eternity by sharing fascinating stories of people who have personally toured Heaven or had near-death experiences in which they have witnessed eternal glories and heavenly realities.

Fear, anger, depression, childhood trauma, abuse, our own secret sins: Thousands of people walk in numbness —suppressing pain that has built up over a lifetime. But for the Christian, it doesn't have to be this way. Christ can set you emotionally free, now and forevermore. Rita Bennett gently leads you through a series of real-life examples, checklists, and personal evaluations as you find the source of your pain and relinquish it to the saving power of Jesus Christ.
