90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
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.
