Product Description
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.

 99% of this book is about his hospital rehabilitation !!! May 18, 2008
First 15 pages is about his 90 min. in heaven. The remainder of the book is about his rehabilitation in the hospital and shoving religion down your throat. What a waste of my money and time. One of the worst books I've ever read.
A life to look forward too!! Great read! May 17, 2008

This is a wonderful book about a man who suffered much and was allowed to see God's glory! If you don't believe in miracles you need to read it. It will encourage your faith and allow you to see just how amazing God really is!
 Great for fundamentalist Christians... May 17, 2008
I love books that give us glimpses into the mysteries of the afterlife. But this very brief and limited experience, and the author's very limited and literal insights (he tells us, for example, that the "Pearly Gates" are actually pearlescent rather than literally made of pearls, for instance) is not very illuminating in that respect.
However, his admirably honest account of his courageous recovery as he learns to live with his miraculously saved but chronically pain-wracked body is inspiring. Although his glimpse of heaven helped keep him going through everything and has been a blessing to those who have lost loved ones, this is essentially a tale of difficult and deep spiritual growth through learning to live through and with tremendous adversity.

Having had a near death experience in 2003 I was amazed when I read this book. This pastor saw many of the same things I did; he saw more. I have been a nurse 30+ years and been at the bedside of many who died wondering what they were seeing, sharing tears with family members although nurses are not supposd to do this. No family member ever objected and actually appreciated my feelings for them. I was hospitalized for a month and on mechanical ventilation not expected to live as all my systems were shutting down. Many people were praying for me and God saw fit to keep me on earth. My husband was told if I did live I would be in a vegetative state or in a wheel chair. I can tell you that it was a long way back, but today my mind is as good as it ever was. I do have times when I have slight remissions, yet my experiences have had a positive outcome for those I talk to. I believe it is natual to have a fear of death as it is the "unknown". I have no fears of death now and I tell everyone this. I went too far to ever fear this last enemy. Jesus paved the way for all of us and some of us get a glimpse of heaven. After this we no longer have to fear, expecially when we have been lucky enough to see so much. It is quite easy and painless to die. It is getting to this stage that may be painful. Have no fear as there are so many beautiful things awaiting us on the other side and in my case I saw no tunnel or bright light. I was simply there. I hope you find my comments encouraging. I have bought this book to give to a few people and they have loved it. I believe it is a "must" for those who wonder what happens when we die. We do not really die (just the physical body does). We simply are immediately transitioned to heaven. J.Green

I thought this book was just ok. I bought this book because i recently lost my mother and thought it would bring me some comfort. I think the author focuses on his recovery to much and would like to have read more about his 90 minutes in heaven.
