I've been on a bit of a book reading kick lately, and I've finally been able to finish 90 Minutes in Heaven about three or four months after starting. Apparently, I could only take this book in chunks, and after awhile, eventually just finished it because I started it, not because I had much interest anymore. While I believe Don Piper and his story wholeheartedly, the way this book was written is a whole other matter all together. I just couldn't stomach it, and I eye-rolled so much that I was kicking my feet in agony by the end.
It's basically about a man who has a near death experience, and in that time, goes to heaven. He is miraculously brought back by the strength of prayer, and somehow makes it though, but not without resenting everyone who is trying to help him to the point of not wanting to be on earth anymore. All he wants is to go back to heaven. And he says this often. I mean, who cares about his wife and kids and the people who love him, right? Just get him back to heaven so he can feel like, totally awesome again!
There was also a moment in the story where the author sits down with his friend and cries for all the people who are going to hell because they don't believe in Jesus. Which is basically everyone else but them. Um, what? Very inspirational there, Don.
All in all, this book was very hard to sit through. The author comes across as full of himself. He also sounds bored with life, like he just wants to get hit by a train so he can go to heaven again. He can't do it himself, because that's bad, obviously, so he will wait. And wait and wait and heal the sick while he's at it to show what a good boy he is. And maybe then God will give him an actual pat on the head.
 Encouraging April 30, 2008
I am a humor fan, I love books that can give an escape from reality like Mr Instability did. This book gives me hope that there is more waiting for me in the after life. I live each day as if its my last and this book is encouraging.

Thank God that Rev. Piper shared his experience with the world. A must read for everyone.
 Disappointing April 26, 2008

I looked forward to reading this book, but I was very disappointed. Don Piper presents, in my opinion, a totally biased view. Many times he refers to heaven as a "place for God's people" as if nobody else can get to heaven unless they are of his denomination. I think this is one-sided, narrow-minded, and simply not true. This book excludes all religions and faiths except his own. It is a slanted view of heaven. I was completely disappointed with this book.
Absolutely enjoy the book April 25, 2008
The book will help people deal with the most difficult subject in life-death. Easy to read and enjoyable.
