"90 Minutes in Heaven"

    Has anyone ever read/heard of this book before?  I just started reading it and I've already learned a lot from it.  It's a true story about a preacher who died and went to heaven but was brought back to life and is now telling his story.  It sounds a bit unreal but it's why he's writing the book, to answer questions and seek glory in God. 
    The preacher was hit by a semi truck head on and died instantly.  When the EMT's covered his body, a fellow pastor prayed over his body for nearly an hour and half even though he was pronounced dead, he was still brought to the hospital with no pulse. 
    He said he saw no tunnel, or felt no feeling of being lifted into heaven through the clouds.  He simply remembers the split second of being hit, then the next instance he was engulfed in this remarkable, beaming light that he never saw on Earth.  He then saw the most beautiful image of gates and a welcoming committee of all of his family that had died and everyone in his life that contributed to him becoming a Christian.  Everyone was welcoming him and praising God. 
    It's hard for him to describe his experience, because he can only use earthly terms.  In heaven there is no realization of time, and age is irrelevant.  Reading this book has opened up my eyes to a lot of things.  Before, I could never really imagine what it would be like in heaven, but coming from someone whose supposedly already been there, it's changed me a bit.  I find it easier to praise God because I know that everything about him and everything he's created for us is truly magnificent.

I'm confused..if he died how did he write the book? I don't think anyone really deeply knows what Heaven is like until they die or any clues from the Bible.

I the bible is says that we will have a new body and be able to walk with God. But we cannot know right now or even imagine what heaven will be like.  But Jesus does say that my father does have many mansions.... we really have no idea what it will be like though.

Heaven is supposed to be perfect, you have everything you want and theres no feelings of jealousy or envy or feeling that your better than somene or anything like that, in heaven you dont even remember that. The weather is always perfect theres no sense of time, boredom doesn't exist either. Nothing negative can be found in heaven.

Heaven seems AMAZING and I think its crazy how some people fail to even believe such a place exists and dont try hard to be accepted there.
