90 Minute in HEAVEN

When my mother-in-law came for a visit she brought this book with her; 90 Minutes in HEAVEN by Don Piper.   She told me it was a great book and I should read it.  Well, not feeling well, I had lots of time to read.  I started reading it and was done the next day.  It's a true story about Don Piper, who is a Baptist minister, and was in an automobile accident.  He  was declared dead.  He was dead for 90 minutes and says that he spent that 90 minutes in heaven.  This book is a really fast read and it is REALLY good.  I highly recommend it!

After my mother-in-law got here we were driving down the road and there is a Baptist Church not too far up the road.  On their sign it said that Don Piper, author of 90 minutes in HEAVEN was coming to speak on Sunday, February 15th.  We were so excited! Sooo, needless to say, last night we went to hear him talk.  It was a great time!  His story was so interesting!  Below are a couple pictures of Don.  My camera wasn't working too well in the church.  Everything turned out dark.  The church holds 600 people and there were over 900 there.  We had really good seats. (We were about three rows back.)

Below is an excerpt from his book:

PROLOUGUE

I died on January 18, 1989.

Paramedics reached the scene of the accident within minutes.  They found no pulse and declared me dead.  They covered me with a tarp so that onlookers wouldn't stare at me while they attended to the injuries of the others.  I was completely unaware of the paramedics or anyone else around me.

Immediately after I died, I went straight to heaven.

While I was in heaven, a Baptist preacher came on the accident scene.  Even though he knew I was dead, he rushed to my lifeless body and prayed for me.  Despite the scoffing of the Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), he refused to stop praying.

At lease ninety minutes after the EMTs pronounced me dead, God answered that man's prayers.

I returned to earth.

This is my story.

I hope you will get a chance to read this book!
