Heaven Is Real
Lessons on Earthly Joy--What Happened After 90 Minutes in Heaven
Hope for the here and now from the multimillion-selling author of 90 Minutes in Heaven.
Millions believe in Heaven. Don Piper's been there. He was pronounced dead after a car accident on January 18, 1989. Ninety minutes later, Piper came back to life with an extraordinary story. His 90 Minutes in Heaven has strengthened the faith of countless people.
When Piper returned to this life, he had a long road back to health, dealing with painful treatments and physical disabilities-the "new normal," as Piper calls it. Still, he had been transformed spiritually and 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 so can anyone else who embraces God's grace in the here and now-as well as the Hereafter.
Don Piper did not return from Heaven alone-he brought the gift of hope back with him. Those who read Heaven Is Real can use what he learned to live the lives God has called them to live.

Piper, well-known for his Christian bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven
, with over 1.4 million copies in print, takes his dramatic story one step further by describing the lessons he’s learned since he died on a bridge in Texas in 1989. Piper didn’t stay dead, but instead returned from the gates of heaven a changed man. “I left the bridge different than I had been when I started across,” he says. Piper uses the bridge metaphor throughout, describing his salvation as the first bridge he crossed, then the traversal of another bridge to a “new normal” after accepting that his life was forever altered. Other journeys discussed include the bridge to compassion and the final bridge to heaven (for good this time). Undergirded with e-mails and letters from people who have read his book or heard him speak, Piper also leans heavily on the example of the Apostle Paul and the New Testament book of Philippians. Although the messages can be repetitive and the writing uninspired, Piper’s story is astounding and his life lessons are real: focus on the eternal, find the humor, accept help, give thanks and just hold on.
