On a Wednesday morning in 1989 Pastor Don Piper died in a head-on collision, awaking in Heaven where he experienced the glories he had long preached about. Ninety minutes later, prayer brought him back to life, and the next time he awoke it was to a world of unimaginable pain, depression and anger. This is the story of Piper's healing and his journey to finding the answer to his most agonizing question: Why had God let him live?

This is an excellent Book for someone grieving the loss of a loved one he/she knows is in heaven. It was given to me after the loss of our young daughter-in-law. I knew she was in heaven as she had repented of her sins and had asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior. None-the-less, I found the Book comforting and encouraging. I have since purchased copies to give as gifts to others at their time of loss. The Book could also serve to show Christians to what we have to look forward one day when we meet our Savior face to face when He calls us home.

This book was thought provoking. It reminds you once again of how awesome God is. It is also is an encouragement for those who are suffering through trails and tribulations and they are wondering if God is truly real. This book reminded me of what someone who was close to me said once: "God is REAL"!

This is a story about a minister who is involved in an auto wreck which should have killed him. However, thru the power of prayer and belief, the minister spends 90 minutes in Heaven and then is restored to life back in our world. The minister writes his story to include the rigors of healing, which in his case created a real ordeal for not only himself, but also his wife and children. It is a must read, in my opinion, because it shows the faith of man in his Heavenly Father and the love of the Heavenly Father to restore the minister to finish an unfinished business for God.

very good and inspirational book. I feel i have been very blessed to read this book to have a insight of heaven. Also all the trials and tribulations this man had gone through when he returned to earth. I gave this book as a christmas present to one of my coworkers and hope she will come to the goodness of God.

This is a book that you can't put down, nor do you want it to ever end. I encourage non believer's and believers to read. I'm praying a movie will be produced.

People really want to believe in Heaven. That so many people would find this book more comforting than what Jesus and the Scriptures have to say about the subject is mystifying. The Bible is very clear that we are not going to know what Heaven is like until we are there. I am very skeptical that, 2000 years later, God changed his mind and wanted the author to write a postscript to the Bible explaining what heaven is really like. Rely on the Scriptures for your information on this subject (and Hell for that matter) -- that is the only authorized source.

I was on the bridge with Don; I know the miraculous answered prayer that he live, and have no internal injuries. He is a Godly man who edifies the truth of God and scripture.

Tell us a little about yourself. I'm an army brat by birth.
I have a degree in Broadcasting and spent 14
years on Radio and TV.
I've been in the full-time ministry for 19 years.
I am terminally in love with the game of
baseball!
What was your motivation behind this project? Self-defense!
I've lived the last 15 years of my life
frustrating people I have met because I could
never spend enough time with them explaining my
encounter with Heaven. Everyone always wanted to
know MORE than I had time to share. "90 Minutes
In Heaven: A True Story of Life and Death"
answers those questions.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Very simple:
1. To know Heaven is real and you can go there.
2. That those who knew Christ and preceeded us
will be waiting at the gate.
3. That God still works miracles.
4. That there are some things that happen in
this life which permanently change us. And, we
must embrace that change by discovering a "new
normal."
5. Tragic circumstances and great pain can give
way to amazing ministry opportunities!
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I read all kinds of materials. I love humor, op-
ed pieces, riveting stories, and nostalgia. My
favorite subjects are fascinating people,
Americana, and the Glory of Christ. I enjoy
reading everything from Yancey to Lucado to
Spurgeon.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Yes, Heaven is utterly real and absolutely
breathtaking.
God is still in the business of miracles.
God wants us to ceaselessly share our faith in
word and deed.
