90 Minutes in Heaven

On his way home from a church conference in 1989, Don Piper’s Ford Escort was struck head-on by an 18-wheeler. He was killed instantly — pronounced dead by four sets of paramedics. But God worked a miracle and sent Don back to a broken body. To date, 34 surgical procedures have taken place. He walks only as a result of miraculous and in some cases medically unexplainable circumstances. During the time he was dead, Piper was granted the extreme privilege of glimpsing Heaven itself.

Since the release of his bestselling book, 90 Minutes in Heaven - a True Story of Death and Life, Don has traveled across the country and around the world sharing his amazing story. His message is simple ... We can have a better life now and an eternal life someday through faith in Jesus Christ!

I've just finished reading "90 Minutes in Heaven," and the description of heaven is a unique perspective few people can report on, because generally once you're there, you don't come back. The author, Rev. Don Piper, a Baptist Minister, tells of 90 minutes he spent in Heaven, and in his book he tries to explain what Heaven was like. He finds it difficult to describe Heaven in human terms. It is place of such beauty and such peace. I can't imagine anyone, when reading about Heaven wouldn't want to be there. He has published other books as well.

Here's the link to a Publisher's Press Release regarding this book.
