A tiny tiny tiny glimpse of heaven

I do believe Don Piper's story. I believe he did spend 90 minutes in Heaven. An incredible journey. Unfortunately, he says it best himself, "...I have to use earthly terms to refer to unimaginable joy...".

Of the 205 pages of this book, only a mere 15 pages tell of his experience, and almost half of those are his attempt to descibe just the music he heard. While I imagine it is true that it is hard to describe Heavenly music, Mr. Piper tries his best. But only 7% of the book is devoted to his experience. His experience and the entire book can be summed up in one sentence:

He was surrounded by loved ones, he heard unimaginable music, and he saw the Gates of Heaven.

The other 93% of the book is devoted to his account of his recovery. He tells a remarkable story of his struggles after his near-death experience, but it is just that. His struggle after Heaven. If you're looking to get a better understanding of Heaven, I would recommend another book.

this book helped me a lot

After the passing of my lovely wife of 49 years I was deeply depressed. A friend noticed this and recommended that I read this book. I was not a religious man but decided to read it anyway. It did help me a lot. Afterwards, my daughter checked out the full version from the library and I would suggest to anyone that wants to purchase this book that you pay the extra cost and get the full version as it is written in more detail.

Title says it all

Like many other reviewers, I was attracted to the title. The author's story and point of view are very interesting. However, I found the description of his journey to heaven too short and his description of his personal troubles way too long. If the book had been written as a journal while his recovery was in process, one could understand the self pity. But it was written well after the fact, and the self pity remains. It seems to me that he focused as much on helping people with the Ilizarov frame as he did with folks with spiritual questions and needs. Perhaps that was his intention, but those efforts could be the subject of another book with a different title.

Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference felt led to pray for the accident victim even though he was told Piper was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life. For years Don Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story.
