In an earlier review I did the book “A
Walk through the Dark” by Eva Piper. This book “90 Minutes in Heaven” is the
book by her husband concerning the incident spoken of in the book by Eva. It
was written long before Eva’s story.
I
decided after reading the book by Eva that I would seek out and find what the
whole story was. I really don’t hold much credence for tales of out of the body
experiences. In fact, being a Bible believer I question most spiritual occurrences.
Rev.
Piper was driving home from a Bible conference in 1989 when he was hit by a truck,
his car was demolished, and he died. The medics who came upon the scene can
document that. For 90 minutes he was reported to be in heaven. He describes it
as a place of light and music.
He
was brought back to life through the prayers and singing of a Rev. Dick
Onerecker. Part of what was asked for was that there be no close brain injury
or internal injury.
God
answered that prayer.
This book details the recovery and the subsequent
ministry of Piper.
From
this book you can see the power of prayer and the slow but steady recovery of
an injured body.
I
liked this book mostly because Piper doesn’t glory in the fact that he was allowed
to see heaven. He doesn’t major on that. In that case he is like the Apostle Paul
who also got a glimpse of heaven but wouldn’t major on that fact. I would
recommend this book for people who need to realize the power of prayer on one
hand and the reassurance that God has a plan for our lives.
