| 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell Yes, Don really went to heaven!! | I've read a few reviews of this book in which the reviewer states
that Don couldn't have gone to heaven. Think about it, folks: He was
dead. His spirit had to have gone SOMEWHERE.
I found the book to be very credible and very believable. The fact that
the description of heaven doesn't occupy the whole book just makes it
that much more believable.
This is a story of trial and triumph. You are able to easily stay
with the author as he describes the long recovery process because
YOU CARE ABOUT HIM. He is a sympathetic author, and I couldn't put the
book down until I had read every last word.
Thank you for writing this book, Rev. Piper!

| | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell To Heaven and Back | I have spent more than ten years researching, reading, and writing about near-death experiences especially the role of light and The Light (God) in these experiences. I heard about 90 Minutes in Heaven on a television documentary and was delighted when my sister purchased a copy from Amazon and gave it to me as an ordination gift.
Don Piper's description of Heaven as a "first class buffet for the senses"...powerful embraces by relatives and friends... "heaven's light, a warm, radiant light that engulfed" him..."vivid, dazzling colors...everything was brilliantly intense." (pp. 23, 25 & 27) is in the mainstream of near-death experiences.
Then it was over and Don was back in his crushed, pain-wracked body- suffering that continues.
But his experience of light, especially The Light ("brighter than the light that surrounded us, utterly luminous") that emanated from the "Gate of Heaven" changed his life forever. (p. 27)
As Betty Eadie wrote in the bestseller Embraced by the Light, and as Morse, Moody, and Kubler-Ross agree, people of light, A Being of Light (who Don did not see directly because he was outside the "Gate of Heaven"), reluctance to return, and personality transformation are part of the experience of light that most near-death experiencers see, and which transforms them permanently.
Don Piper sums up his experiences after heaven: "I don't have a death wish. I'm not suicidal, but every day I think about going back. I long to return. In God's timing, I know with utter certainty that I will. ... I have no fear of death. ... There's nothing to fear - only joy to experience. ...
Although I long for my heavenly home, I`m prepared to wait until the final summons comes for me." (pp. 196-97)
90 Minutes in Heaven is a great companion book for our journey through life to our final destination!
| | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell 90 Minutes of BS | Don't read this book if you want to get an idea as to what heaven is "really" like. What Piper describes in about 7 pages is the typical, cookie-cutter kind of heaven everyone always talks about, but is most likely totally inaccurate. I think he was just having a dream or something.
The remainder of the book describes his recovery in detail. It is extremely repetitive. Practically every page describes his immense physical pain and how difficult the recovery is.
And the icing on the cake for me was the part when he was in the diner with his friend. And they looked around at all the other people in the diner and realized that basically everyone there except for them was going to hell because they weren't "believers".
Now, I'm not an overly religious person, but last time I checked, it was God who determined who was and was not going to hell, and no human on earth should judge, which is precisely what he did.
And right now, he's laughing all the way to the bank to deposit his millions.
SHAME ON YOU PIPER!!!!!!!!!
| | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell Was recommended to me | This was recommended to me, but I ordered another book at the same time
that I am relating to more. | | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell A soul-grabbing book | | This little book was recommended by my orthopaedic surgeon which, in itself, is a surprise for most people. I don't read many books because of an eye problem but this one was a perfect size for me. The story by a minister who died and went to heaven before he was revived reinforced all of my childhood lessons of what we can expect to happen when we make that journey ourselves. I read the book in record time and passed it on to my children. It's comforting to think that people who impacted our lives here on earth and passed on will be waiting to greet us at the gates of heaven. Well worth the short read. | | 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life by Revell Product Description | | 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. |
