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.

I thought this book was inspiring but also it was very sad. It was also amazing that his family was able to survive his ordeal. I was amazed that his faith in God did not appear to seriously faver. I thought... (read more)
"A good book but not for someone looking for a light-hearted read"by Connie H. (see profile)01/01/09
I enjoyed this book on an infomrational level. His story mirrors others I have read that recount visions or visits to heaven. The majority of the book focuses on his returning to life after 90 minutes... (read more)

I felt the "heaven" experience was somewhat trite and materialistic for my personal taste. The golden streets and pearlescent gates were a little too pat. Also the evangelistic fervor was ... (read more)
