Search - 90 Minutes In Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Don Piper died on January 18, 1989 while on his way home from a church conference. Although he does go in depth into his visit to Heaven, his book really concentrates on his life after the accident. After experiencing a joyous reunion with deceased relatives he was whisked away to earth with no explanation. Don is a devout Christian and suffers greatly from his banishment in heaven and with the physical pain and recovery from his automobile accident. This is really a story of survival against all odds and it is extremely motivating. When we hear of such adversity striking others we often wonder how they find the grit to survive. By reading Don's story we find that survival is based on a mixture of hope, faith and sheer determination. Read this book, you won't be disappointed

i could'nt put this book down! It's about a Baptist preacher in Texas who was legally dead for 90 minutes after a car accident and saw Heaven.It brings tears to your eyes!

Rev. Piper gives several good life lessons. However, I was disappointed in the basic fundamental lesson...forgiveness.

An awesome true story of a man who dies in an horrific accident, was pronounced dead by EMT's on site, and returns to life 90 minutes later. You will never fear death, after reading this.

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.

This book is an interesting read of a man's first hand experience of heaven. But more than that, it confirms the power of prayer and the benefits of walking closely with the Lord. Life is truly an adventure--despite earthly circumstances--when shared with God.

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

THIS BOOK WILL REALLY TOUCH YOUR HEART,I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH,CRIED TOO,TO SEE WHAT ONE HUMAN BEING WENT THROUGH AFTER A LIFE SHATTERING ACCIDENT WILL MAKE ONE CHANGE THEIR OUTLOOK ON LIFE!
