Product Description
Now available in large print and Spanish editions, 90 Minutes in Heaven is the runaway best seller of one man's experience with death and life. As Baptist minister Don Piper was driving home from a conference, his car collided with a semi truck that crossed into his lane. He was pronounced dead at the scene. For the next 90 minutes, Piper experienced the glories of heaven, where he was greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually, and he experienced true peace. Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference was led to pray for the accident victim even though he was told Don was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life, and the pleasure of heaven was replaced by a long and painful recovery. For years Don Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story. An inspiring and encouraging account, 90 Minutes in Heaven continues to touch and comfort hundreds of thousands of people around the world as it offers a glimpse of inexpressible heavenly bliss. Now even more people can experience Piper's incredible story through these two new editions.

 90 Minutes in Heaven August 29, 2008
Very quick and interesting read...I work at Hospicecare of Southeast Florida and I shared the book with 3 of our Pastors employed here and they also enjoyed the journey.
Don't miss this book! August 29, 2008
This is a book that everyone should read. It was mentioned in our Sunday School lesson and sparked my interest. I am usually a "non-reader". I prefer to wait for the movie; however, I read this book in two days.
 High Hopes, Big Disappointment August 28, 2008
As many others have noted here, I had high hopes that his book would give more spiritual insight into heaven and faith. However, I was left wanting. The content of the chapters were loosely strung together and the repetition of phrases and lack of cohesion was frustrating. I've yet to finish the final chapters, and I'm not even certain I'll waste my time. The most positive thing I can say about the writing--it had the potential to be a really good book.
Unfortunately, this book was a severe letdown. August 22, 2008
As a born-again Christian who believes in the existence of Heaven, I was severely disappointed in this book. Very few pages are actually about the author's '90 minutes in Heaven.' 95% of the book chronicles the recovery of the author's accident. With all due respect, I don't care to read about the recovery of a car accident victim. That is not why I purchased the book.
This one was a disappointment.
90 Minutes in Heaven August 15, 2008
This book was very inspirational for me. At first I was a little disappointed, since I had just finished reading 23 minutes in Hell and hoped this book would paint as vivid a picture of heaven as 23 minutes in hell painted of hell.
There were a few descriptions involving his time in heaven but the book focused more on Don Piper's recovery. I'm amazed at how much pain and suffering Don went through during his long recovery. He also experienced severe depression during the first part of his recovery. I could relate to some parts of his experience since I was on dialysis for four years and was fortunate enough to have a kidney transplant January of this year. I thought I experienced pain when I was on dialysis but it was nothing compared to the pain Don experienced during his recovery. As Don pointed out, he experienced excruciating pain and suffering, but it's was nothing compared to the pain and suffering Jesus Christ went through for us.
I recommend reading this book by those that are curious about heaven, however I think it would make an excellent gift for anyone going through a long recovery or some sort of trial with your health
