By Don Piper, Cecil Murphey


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.

Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Don Piper recounts the dramatic story of his ninety-minute journey to heaven. When a truck crushed his Ford Escort in a head-on collision, he was declared dead on scene. But a passing minister sensed that God wanted him to pray, so he reached through the wreckage to clasp Piper's bloody hand while he did so. Piper's incredulous voice speaks of what he believes he saw: heaven's luminous gates through which he could see streets paved with gold, as well as relatives and loved ones who surrounded him yet wouldn't let him pass through because it wasn't his time. This incredible story is one of faith and inspiration. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews
Not what I expected
This is not the full version of this book. It is only excerpts from the book by the same title. This was not clear when I purchased 2 copies of it. I feel like I was ripped off.

WARNING be careful what you order
I loved 90 Minutes in Heaven: the True Story of Life Beyond Death; it's a thought-provoking, comforting book. 90 Minutes in Heaven: the INSPIRING Story of Life Beyond Death, though not noted as an excerpt, provides only 5 chapters of the original 19 and misses the complete arc of Mr. Piper's story.
