Editorial Reviews

Review

A Journey to Heaven is about the triumphant death of a child who had inoperable brain stem cancer. Emmy Mott was only three years old when she was given a maximum of eight weeks to live. However, with an outpouring of love and prayers for her, she lived for forty one weeks and lived past her fourth birthday!
Tammy's heart-breaking account will touch every mother's heart.
This book is a must read. There is so much to learn from this 'journey to heaven' that one emerges a transformed person after reading it.

From the Author

Many times significant things happen to us that make us look at life differently. It is unfortunate it often takes something devastating for us to realize the things in our lives that are most important. My whole world changed. I look at things differently than I used to. I see the beauty in simple things now that I have overlooked before; the brilliant colors of the rainbow, the beauty of a butterfly, the crisp cool feel of a snowflake, the sound of the gentle wind blowing through the trees. I try to experience these things as if every time is the first time. I try not to take anything for granted anymore. I try to live each day as if it could be my last. I make sure to let my family know how much I love them. I try to appreciate the gifts I have been given. I try to remember that these gifts come from God and with Him all things are possible. He is my strength. I hope that in sharing Emmy's story with you, it might inspire you to look at your life differently. Take nothing for granted and appreciate all your gifts and blessings. Take time to cherish the things in your lives that are most important. There is that word again, that special gift, time. We truly have so much for which to be thankful. May we all remember this daily. Give thanks and praise to Jesus for He deserves Glory, Honor, and Praise. May the legacy of Emmy be that her story will change your life.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Bruce Brodowski was born in 1945 three months after his dad was killed in Germany in WWII. His mother developed cancer in 1950 and when Bruce was ten years old lost her battle with cancer in 1955. His mother's last dying wish was for him to study hard and become a doctor. Without a father around Bruce developed the classical symptoms of an orphan heart. With his mother's death he felt betrayed, unloved, unlovable, unwanted, rejected, abandoned, and just didn't fit in. He was forced to unwittingly live with an aunt, uncle, and cousin by his mother's wishes in her will. He had planned to runaway several times. His teenage years proved to be disastrous encounters in relationships. The harder he tried to be accepted, the worse he failed. College became the educational grounds for looking for love in all the wrong places, chasing women, and becoming an alcoholic. He never achieved the course grades necessary for medical school thus reinforcing his orphan heart failure complex. He also failed in marriage and a career only to succeed in bar room drinking 101. After his divorce in 1980, he spent years in bar rooms, failed relationships, and changing jobs. This resulted in escapades in Florida, Texas, and North Carolina. It wasn't until he received a divine wake up call into healing ministry in 1995 that Bruce's life began to change. Then in 2007 Bruce received healing for his orphan heart. This experience profoundly impressed upon him the importance of the Father's Love and launched him to preach and teach about the Father's embrace.. Now in full time ministry, his mission is to lead people into intimacy with the Fathering heart of God through out the world.
He is the author of "The Dad I Never Knew: A War Orphan's Search for Inner Healing" and "My Father, My Son: Healing the Orphan Heart with the Father's Love." To find out

Great life story about a brave little girl and her family!

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

Beautiful story about Emmy who've touched and impacted many. God was with Emmy and her family and he's still there while she's in Heaven and fully healed. Very touching story about a brave little girl who passed away in 2012 and who's family I will continue to pray for as well as other families who are battling on the battlefield with DIPG. Very truthful story on what it was like for Emmy and her family before she arrived to Heaven. You got to get the book, because I picked it up on my Kindle eReader and couldn't put it down.

Heartbreaking story of Childhood Cancer in an Amazing Little Girl and her Wonderful Family

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2013

An incurable cancer in a 4 year old child, a cancer that only strikes children! How do you accept that, let alone explain it to a small child? I fell in love with Emmy Mott and her family from the first moment I saw her Facebook page requesting prayer for this precious child in March of 2012. Tammy Brodowski Mott, the book's author, and her husband Denny Mott were blessed by God with the gift that was their daughter Emmy. Only someone touched by God could shine the way Emmy did. The grace and acceptance of everything that happened to her, the determination to fight what was dealt to her. She was given a few weeks and she lived 41 weeks and oh how she did live!!! Her face, her smile, her eyes!, She shone with the love of God, and when this horrible cancer took her voice, her smile, and the ability to walk, she used her big brown eyes to talk. Never have I been touched by someone that I didn't know as I was touched by Emmy. She brought me to my knees in prayer for her and her family. She brought me closer to God, because of Emmy I pray and talk to God more, something I had drifted away from over the years. I followed Tammy's daily posts on Facebook faithfully. I felt God leading me to Emmy's Journey. This book will have you loving Emmy and her family and leave you with a sense of the miracle that was and still is Emmy.

This book tells the story of how TAmmy Mott dealt with the tragic news that her 4 year old daughter, Emily, was given 6-8 weeks to live. Through her stories and facebook journaling, Tammy showed how her deep faith helped her deal with many of the daily issues she faced, and illustrated the joy she found in each additional day God gave her with Emily. It describes the outpouring of love and prayers offered for Emily by thousands of people, most of whom were strangers, and the miracle of 41 additional weeks that she believed happened because of all those prayers.

Being Tammy's Mom and Emily's grandmother, and having lived this story with them, some may consider me a bit prejudiced about this book, but I find it inspirational. I am amazed and so proud that my daughter could share her feelings so eloquently with others. She truly amazes me. I am grateful she is my daughter and that I had the priveledge to know and love Emily. Hopefully, through this book, you will feel the same.

I have just read the book Journey To Heaven. Oh how I cried. The family this is written about is a loving, careing, and amazing people. I could not imagin having to go threw what they did. The book is about a 4 year old that was diagnosed with Brain stem Glioma. Her mother post almost daily on how little Emmy was doing, I would come home from work every day and read about Emmy and her family. The book is heart felt. Everyone needs to read the book. I'm sure you would look at life differently. I know reading posting on facebook and reading the book how it has affected my life and the way I look at things, and appreciate the little things we take for granted. Please buy the book you won't regret it. You won't be able to put the book down till you finish. Fly high little Emmy, fly high. God bless the Mott family.

Wonderful tribute to a beautiful little girl!

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

Tammy has an amazing way with words! Thank you for allowing us all to share this journey with you and your family! I remember how I felt as I read the Facebook updates and saw Emmy's pictures everyday till the end, but this book puts you right in a mothers perspective as she prepares for her young daughters Journey to Heaven. I learned about Emmy through my sister in law and from that day forward began following her story on FB, I cannot thank Tammy enough for allowing the community to be apart of Emmy's too short life, she was such a sweet, strong little girl. But she learned from the best, I've told Tammy a few times that she along with her husband Denny were my Heroes. They put aside their emotions to give Emmy a wonderful life for as long as she was here, and what an awesome job they did! God knew what he was doing when he placed Emmy in their arms!

Emmy was an amazing, and beautiful little girl, I used to call her Emmy Angel. She touched my heart in many ways, and even though I had not meet her yet her story made me cry. After a few months though I did have the opportunity to meet her and so did my 8 year old daughter, we both had the chance to talk to Emmy and hold her hand. Tammy was so fluent in her updates that she just made me feel like I was in her home when she was giving them. When we finally did meet her we where able to share Halloween with her and a prayer vigilante. Her funeral was beautiful also. Take the time to get this book and read it. It will touch your heart and make you cry.

Not a book about a near death experience

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this book thinking that it was about the afterlife, a near death experience. Instead, it was about the struggle of a little girl with cancer. It was very sad to read the suffering she had to go through but I kept reading thinking it would get to the point where she has a near death experience, with visions of the afterlife, but that never happened.

This little girl and her family will forever be a positive memory in my life. From the moment I started following little Emmys story I was rooting for her and praying! I cried when I would read Tammy's posts when Emmy had a rough day and smiled when she had good ones! Her amazing mom and family should be an inspiration to all families! That no matte what God throws at you, you make the best of it! Make memories And cherish the time you have! Tammy wrote so eloquently and described every detail of Emmys good days and bad days! I love this little girls spirit and spunk! She was a beautiful child! God Bless You Mott Family! I will treasure this book always!

an Interesting read about a family going through the diffucilt time of a dying child and the efffects on the family that this has. The overriding sense was Jesus walking with them through this time and the love that overwhelms the whole story. There is hope in jesus comes across with every page no matter how difficult the situation.
