Don Piper, Cecil Murphey
Revell, 2004
6,008 years out of Heaven, and counting...
+ Touching and intriguing
+ Devastation to Hope
Donald Piper, following his accident, visited Heaven for 90 minutes, then returned to planet Earth to tell us about it. IMHO, evangelicals should stop their nitpicking. Granted: what Don saw while comatose does not quite square with Holy Scripture. But this guy had massive injuries. If Don has ...

I'm sitting at my desk at work rocking back and forth in my chair, partly because of a caffeine buzz, but mostly because of the anticipation I feel about the Twilight movie coming out this Friday. I'm 32 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm absolutely in love with the entire series. ...

An Amazing Book

+ Interesting, especially if you don't know much about Wright
I read this book based on a recommendation from a friend. Even though I am not usually a fan of historical fiction, I was interested, as I have been to Falling Water and knew a few things- or so I thought- about Frank Lloyd Wright.
I was truly captivated by this book. Loving Frank tells of the ...
