Tietoa tästä e-kirjasta

As he is driving home from a minister's conference, Baptist minister Don Piper collides with a semi-truck that crosses into his lane. He is pronounced dead at the scene. For the next 90 minutes, Piper experiences heaven where he is greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually. He hears beautiful music and feels true peace.

Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference is led to pray for Don even though he knows the man is dead. Piper miraculously comes back to life and the bliss of heaven is replaced by a long and painful recovery.

For years Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, however, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story.

Arviot ja arvostelut

This is a beautiful book about an inexplicable experience. But because he lives in a Christian bubble, he sees and interpretes thru those lenses. It's a grave mistake to believe that only followers of Jesus can go to "heaven", if that's what you want to call it.
