Life in Eternity

This fascinating memoir, ‘Life in Eternity’, by former Chief Constable Robin Oake, is deeply engaging and reveals a strong and intensely moving anticipation of life to come after death. It is written from Robin’s broad understanding of life, stemming from a terrible bereavement that forced the author to review his previously held view of life. ‘Life in Eternity’ is an account of positive thinking in practice to encourage and – hopefully – overcome even the worst kind of grief. Following the death on duty of his police detective son, Stephen, this book shows and encourages remarkable resilience and practical positivity and is, therefore, a useful and buoyant aid to anyone grieving. It is also, at a different level, an entertaining account of police life told by an extremely experienced former policeman.
