90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper was a very interesting read.

I am a sci-fi kind of guy… however this book affected me in a much deeper way than I had expected.

The story goes that on the way home from a church conference, Don Piper’s car was crushed by a semi-trailer that crossed into his lane. Medical personnel said he died instantly.

While lying lifeless inside his car, Piper writes that he experienced the glories of heaven, awed by the beauty and music.

Seeing Piper fight for his life, a minister began praying for his recovery..

After reading this story, I found it easier to face the issues that come up in my life.. A majority of 90 Minutes in Heaven focuses on Piper’s struggles after his accident..

The intense pain and knowledge that he won’t be normal again lead Piper to despair, depression, and frustration.

God placed a number of people in Piper’s life to help him with his depression and despair. Piper begins to share his experience with others and finds God working through his story.

If you seek a complete description of Heaven, you may feel let down by this book.. But this book will show you that God can help you overcome anything..

Piper’s harrowing recovery was a great inspiration to me, and I would encourage anyone who is down on  their luck to read this and see how God can transform your life.

90 Minutes in Heaven offers a glimpse into a very real dimension of God’s reality. This book offers encouragement to those who are struggling with personal issues.. Don’s life was forever changed from this experience. This book changed my life as well.

Oh… and they have sold over 4 million copies. There’s a reason why, it’s just that good!!
