Mothers Never Die: What She Lost Didn't Compare to What She Found

By Beverly Rose and Dr Beverly Rose

Book Overview

Mothers Never Die is the dramatic and inspiring story of Dr. Rose's spiritual pilgrimage. When a debilitating muscle disease ended her prestigious Harvard career and left her bedridden, she rocked back against her Jewish upbringing. She took God to task. And the surprising answer came as she discovered who it is that holds the world together: Jesus Christ. Adding intrigue and humor to her story is the running dialogue the author has with her mother. This is autobiography at its best.

Customer Reviews

Held in interest from start to finish!

My husband and I both loved this book! We found the story compelling and simply couldn't put it down. We laughed, were moved to tears, and were thoroughly pulled into Ms. Rose's moving narrative of her life story. The details of her journey from successful psychologist to sidelined patient struggling with and settling the issues of her faith and future were powerful and unforgettable. I believe that people of all faiths, including those still seeking, would greatly enjoy the genuine and moving experiences of Rose's family life through three generations....Yet I found myself held in interest from start to finish. Beverly Rose is simply a great writer!As we read this book, many friends and family members came to mind with whom we are anxious to share it. We are looking forward to Rose's next book - we literally can't wait.

If Only I Had Encountered a Book Like This Sooner!

When I was growing up Jewish in the New York City area, my ethnicity defined my entire secular world, but left me spiritually empty. To seek any value in another religion was heresy--an insult to the memory of martyred Jews throughout the ages and a danger to our future survival as a people. Years later, only after living in the Deep South, displaced from my Jewish moorings, did I get to know committed Christians and appreciate their personal relationship with God. If only I had encountered a book like Mothers Never Die sooner! This masterpiece by Beverly Rose crystallizes both Jewish ethnicity and Christian faith through witty observations and poignant dialogue. Never losing sight of a profound mother-daughter relationship, this book manages to dramatize an entire family's Americanization over the course of three generations. As a result of Beverly Rose's own physical suffering and transcendent conversion from Judaism to Christianity, the author, a Harvard-trained, doctoral-level clinical psychologist, is in an excellent position to offer comfort and joy, especially to those readers who continue to suffer from a loss of one sort or another . . . and who seek healing. Yes, another book about "overcoming," but so much more. I heartily recommend that you read this book. It will be a blessing, a true gift to yourself . . . and one worth giving to others.
