When I initially began reading this book, I was disappointed because I had hoped the author would spend more time recounting his experiences in heaven. (Only a couple of pages are devoted to his description of dying.) I found the middle of the book to be quite boring, and I took a long time to read it and almost didn't finish it for this reason. However, the book really picked up at the end. Don's stories about his recovery, though painful and depressing, were effective at reminding me of all of the things that I tend to take for granted in my daily life. I also really enjoyed reading about how Don turned other people's lives around by sharing his experiences and insights. I recommend this book to anyone who has recently lost a loved one, or who is in the process of recovering from serious injuries. However, I don't recommend this book to someone who is closeminded in the sense that they might become offended by the Christian religious perpective. In some ways, this book reminded me of "Tuesdays With Morrie." If you enjoyed reading "Tuesdays With Morrie," you will probably enjoy this book as well.

Wow. This book recounts what happened to Don Piper while he was "dead" for 90 minutes after grave injury in an auto accident. He vividly recalls, in detail, what he experienced during the hour-and-a-half rescuers worked to resuscitate him. His is truly a glimpse of heaven, told with an incredible eye for detail.

One of the best books I've read in a very long time!!!

Although Dan Piper's heaven experience is beautifully related to the readers in detail, most of the book is to relate his experiences for rehab and how his faith brought him the experiences yet to come. There is a lot written on his depression during rehab, but it all makes sense why that part of his recovery was indeed part of his recovery. It makes sense when you complete the entire book. It can be inspirational to someone or just really bring faith in God back to someone who needs it most now.

A really wonderful example of how pure intent works. The author doesn't sugarcoat his sour attitude as he went through the recovery process.

This is probably one of my all time favorite books. It is essentially a beautiful biographical telling of one man's faith and his miraculous return from heaven after he was pronounced dead at the scene of a horrible car accident. I believe this is a must read for all Christians.

The book was an interesting story of one man's experience with heaven, but I really wish it spent more time on that subject. The majority of the book chronicled his recovery process, and I think he did a great job of describing his emotions during the painful processes. I can see how this book would be a great spiritual confirmation or even a story of hope for others, but . . . let's just put it this way: I don't recommend this book for anyone who is a skeptic or cynic when it comes to religion.

Wonderful story of hope of the here after for those who live in Christ. A must read also for anyone who has lost a loved one in Christ.

My mother read this book and really was upset with it. She said most of the book dealt with his recovery which is what she hoped it was not about. She wanted to hear more about his "90 minutes in heaven", but that only lasted for a chapter or so. I personally haven't read it myself, I just am repeating what my mother said.

Incredible. Anyone who is afraid of death and believes in heaven should read this!

I would recommend this book to anyone!! It is a wonderful autobiography and shows human courage at its best. The encouragement it offers is priceless.

This book was amazing, it mad me feel better about life after death. I knew that there was no doubt that my mother went to Heaven when she passed away, she was a very Spiritual women. I understand why she called on Jesus so much, I know that she wasn't wearied about her after life. I didn't know at the time I had finished this book but some days after my brother and I were talking about death and just out of the blue I said that I'm not scared of dieing, my brother said he was and that he didn't want to die. I told him that I didn't want to die either, I just wasn't scared of the thought of dieing. I was some what surprised at what I said but then thought of the book I had read and realized that was why I was not scared. The thought of death use to scare me but not after reading this book. Don't misunderstand me I'm not ready for death I love life and thank God for letting me see another beautiful day, I'm just at peace about that subject. ( If I had to rate this book between 1-10 I would give it a 10 )

I read this book to my family out loud over the course of a couple weeks. My kids loved to hear the miracle stories that Don shares throughout the book. Don paints a beautiful picture of heaven that made all of us so excited to be there some day but also reminds us of how much we have to learn here on earth before we go.

I really enjoyed this book. I think I may read it again. Its really great if you have lost someone very dear to you.

enjoyable book

Rev. Don Piper was in a horrendous car wreck and pronounced dead at the scene. And lived to tell what happened next.

a real eye opener

Very inlightening.

This was an awesome book. I never thought that I need to reexamine my own life until I read this book. I now have a better understanding of how to deal with the pain that life deals me.

I could not wait to read this book and I was not disappointed. This mans experience is incomparable.
