Publisher's DescriptionNew inspiration from the million-copy bestselling author of 90 Minutes in Heaven.
Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven has sold more than a million copies and has been translated into 12 languages. Now, from "The Minister of Hope" comes the follow-up that millions of readers have been waiting for. On January 18th, 1989, Don Piper died in a car accident. Ninety minutes later, after a preacher prayed over him, Piper came back to life with an extraordinary story. He'd been to heaven. So began the phenomenon of 90 Minutes in Heaven. Now, for the millions who look to him for inspiration, Piper offers the hope that if he could survive his ordeal after the accident, then others can survive whatever life circumstances they're going through and grow in God's love through the experience. For Piper, heaven is a certainty-and so is God's grace. Relying on that assurance, believers can transform pain into purpose and troubles into blessings, finding joy in life even when life turns out not to be what they expected. Author BioDon Piper is an internationally-recognized minister who has worked for Pat Robertson's CBN-TV affiliate in Texas. has published over 100 books. He holds a Masters of Divinity from the Columbia Theological Seminary.
Publisher's WeeklyPiper, well-known for his Christian bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven, with over
1.4 million copies in print, takes his dramatic story one step further by
describing the lessons he's learned since he died on a bridge in Texas in
1989. Piper didn't stay dead, but instead returned from the gates of heaven a
changed man. "I left the bridge different than I had been when I started
across," he says. Piper uses the bridge metaphor throughout, describing his
salvation as the first bridge he crossed, then the traversal of another bridge
to a "new normal" after accepting that his life was forever altered. Other
journeys discussed include the bridge to compassion and the final bridge to
heaven (for good this time). Undergirded with e-mails and letters from people
who have read his book or heard him speak, Piper also leans heavily on the
example of the Apostle Paul and the New Testament book of Philippians.
Although the messages can be repetitive and the writing uninspired, Piper's
story is astounding and his life lessons are real: focus on the eternal, find
the humor, accept help, give thanks and just hold on. (Aug. 7) Copyright
