90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper With Cecil Murphy

I have spent more than ten years researching, reading, and writing about near-death experiences especially the role of light and The Light (God) in these experiences. I heard about 90 Minutes in Heaven on a television documentary and was delighted when my sister purchased a copy from Amazon and gave it to me as an ordination gift.Don Piper's description of Heaven as a "first class buffet for the senses"...powerful embraces by relatives and friends... "heaven's light, a warm, radiant light that engulfed" him..."vivid, dazzling colors...everything was brilliantly intense." (pp. 23, 25 & 27) is in the mainstream of near-death experiences.Then it was over and Don was back in his crushed, pain-wracked body- suffering that continues.But his experience of light, especially The Light ("brighter than the light that surrounded us, utterly luminous") that emanated from the "Gate of Heaven" changed his life forever. (p. 27)As Betty Eadie wrote in the best seller Embraced by the Light
, and as Morse, Moody, and Kubler-Ross agree, people of light, A Being of Light (who Don did not see directly because he was outside the "Gate of Heaven"), reluctance to return, and personality transformation are part of the experience of light that most near-death experiencers see, and which transforms them permanently.Don Piper sums up his experiences after heaven: "I don't have a death wish. I'm not suicidal, but every day I think about going back. I long to return. In God's timing, I know with utter certainty that I will. ... I have no fear of death. ... There's nothing to fear - only joy to experience. ...Although I long for my heavenly home, I 'm prepared to wait until the final summons comes for me." (pp. 196-97)90 Minutes in Heaven is a great companion book for our journey through life to our final destination!
