title: Encounters with Heaven: Stories of God's Surprising Presence
author: Karin J. Gunderson
description: A graduate of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, Karin Gunderson is an accomplished vocalist, harpist, pianist, flutist and story teller. Singing songs of faith is her passion; she has performed in concert halls and churches across the United States. For eleven years Karin brought peace and comfort to hospice patients and their families. Fondly known as the "singing harpist," she has often shared in the amazing experiences of patients as they cross into heaven. As a Christian Retreat Presenter and certified Natural Health Educator, Karin's work is varied and exciting. Her Karing Journey ministry educates and provides holistic integrative therapies for wellness. Karin's dream is to have a small retreat center where people can join her family and find refreshment and renewal for greater levels of wholeness and wellness.
