"Heaven is Real will encourage you to move beyond your past and discover what God has next for you. [You] will be reminded that the very things you wished had never happened in your life can actually become your greatest opportunities." - Dr. Charles Redmond, senior pastor, First Baptist Church, Pasadena, Texas. "[When] I met Don Piper in person, and heard him recount his experience to our congregation, I had no doubt this man had been to heaven. The reason.is how he now lives his life on earth. Indelible lessons were learned throughout that experience which has changed him forever. As you read Heaven Is Real, you will discover that you don't need to go to heaven to learn these lessons, you simply need to listen to a man who has." - Dr. Kevin M. Brennan, senior pastor, Evangel Church, Scotch Plains, New Jersey. "Don Piper is an ordinary man with an extraordinary experience and calling.This book will lift your eyes from the trials and troubles of this life and warm your heart as you realize that everything you do here on earth can make a difference for eternity." - Gregg Harris, president, Far East Broadcasting Company. "In this book, Don tells the story - more than life overcoming death, more than stories of faith and fear - but the story of faith and love and hope and grace of Christ. This is the story of every Christian who has invested in his hope and his grace. Be prepared to be blessed!" - Ron Hill, senior pastor, The Fellowship of San Antonio. "Millions believe in Heaven. Don Piper's been there. Now the author of 90 Minutes in Heaven tells us how to survive and transcend life's difficulties by seeking the assurance of God's grace. Don Piper was pronounced dead at the scene of a car accident on January 18, 1989. Ninety minutes later, Piper came back to life with an extraordinary story. He'd been to Heaven. More than a million readers found inspiration in Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven. His firsthand experience of the joy of heaven strengthened the faith of countless people. But his time in heaven did not take away Piper's earthly suffering. When he returned to this life, he had a long road back to health. He spent more than one hundred days in a hospital dealing with painful treatments, physical disabilities, and adjusting to the limits his injuries would place on him in the future - the "new normal," as Piper calls it. Still, despite physical pain and emotional fears, Piper had been transformed spiritually. He had been touched by God's grace. This allowed him not only to cope with his suffering, but to transcend it. Piper found purpose in his pain, he found the message in the mess - and you can, too. After experiencing what awaits in the next life, Don Piper is able to shed light on this life and put everyday hardships into proper perspective. He reveals how life's trials can be turned into spiritual lessons, when we are open to the certainty of God's grace and love. All of this is possible because Don Piper did not return from heaven alone - he brought the gift of hope back with him." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
