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.

2 out of 5 stars Unfortunately, this book was a severe letdown.   August 22, 2008
As a born-again Christian who believes in the existence of Heaven, I was severely disappointed in this book. Very few pages are actually about the author's '90 minutes in Heaven.' 95% of the book chronicles the recovery of the author's accident. With all due respect, I don't care to read about the recovery of a car accident victim. That is not why I purchased the book.

This one was a disappointment.



4 out of 5 stars 90 Minutes in Heaven   August 15, 2008
This book was very inspirational for me. At first I was a little disappointed, since I had just finished reading 23 minutes in Hell and hoped this book would paint as vivid a picture of heaven as 23 minutes in hell painted of hell.

There were a few descriptions involving his time in heaven but the book focused more on Don Piper's recovery. I'm amazed at how much pain and suffering Don went through during his long recovery. He also experienced severe depression during the first part of his recovery. I could relate to some parts of his experience since I was on dialysis for four years and was fortunate enough to have a kidney transplant January of this year. I thought I experienced pain when I was on dialysis but it was nothing compared to the pain Don experienced during his recovery. As Don pointed out, he experienced excruciating pain and suffering, but it's was nothing compared to the pain and suffering Jesus Christ went through for us.

I recommend reading this book by those that are curious about heaven, however I think it would make an excellent gift for anyone going through a long recovery or some sort of trial with your health

4 out of 5 stars Amazing book   August 15, 2008
This book is amazing. It is hard to believe that it is true, that someone has seen heaven and returned to life on earth. Although the Bible reveals people who have died and were raised from the dead, there has been no actual description of what heaven is really like from them. I guess the Good Lord thought that a brief description was needed in our world at this time.
