This is a sequal to 90 Minutes in Heaven in which the author died in a traffic accident and goes to heaven. This book was even better then the first. In this book Piper descibes how all of us go through life changing events-both good and bad. Once the event takes place there is no turning back. These include someone close to us dying, the loss of a job, an accident, a financial setback, a divorce etc. The natural response is to wallow in self pity and wish things like they use to be. We need to...more
I had the good fortune of receiving Don's other book "90 Minutes In Heaven," for Christmas a few years ago, which is an extraordinarystory, as is this one.In this book, Don focuses more on his 'return from Heaven,' faith, love, a desire to continue with life even after tragic and/or life altering events. I take delight in how Don uses bridges to describe events in life that in some way leave us forever changed. We ALL cross bridges (marry, become parents, or mourn the of death of a loved one jus...more
This book is great for people who are struggling with a setback in life: an illness, a divorce, a job loss, the death of a loved one, etc. Don Piper has gone through his share of struggles recovering from a fatal car accident (and I say "fatal" because he did actually die but came back to life), and he gives encouragement in this book to others who might be struggling and wondering why this is happening to them or if it's worth it to continue on. This is definitely a Christian book, so I don't k...more
This book fell short of my expectations. While I appreciate that Don Piper has written about his miraculous experience, this book felt too preachy for me. I was upset that he considered the most important and significant point in his life was when he became a born again Christian and in his mind, that is the only reason he went to heaven when he died (and now he tries to convert people so they too can go to heaven - I'm not amused).

Joke on me! I was supposed to read Heaven is FOR Real for a book club, and got this one from the library by mistake. It was good, but it is the sequel to a book called "Ninety Minutes in Heaven." The author did not tell much about his actual experience, which is covered in the earlier book. This one tells about some of the ways his other book affected readers, but since I hadn't read the first one..... I don't know that I buy his claim that he was actually dead for 90 minutes, though I do recogn...more

Perfect book to get your head thinking about what we are here to accomplish. Easy to sit back and think about the past, the pain, the hurt, the heartache BUT ... we need to work through all the pain and figure out what our purpose is for on this earth. Here's a guy who went thru 34 major operations, 13 months in the hospital followed by 2 years of rehab.

This author's first book of his experiences of dying, spending 45 minutes in heaven, and a long hard rehabilitation is compelling and thought provoking. This book gives many example of how his life of telling his story has affected people. Unfortunately, if a reader is well studied on this topic - and has an accurate understanding and practice of Christian doctrine - this book brings little new to the table and the examples are often over simplistic.
I agree with the principles that the author spoke about in this book... that being said, I feel like it could've been a page, instead of over 200. The book felt like a really long book review of his first novel. Since I didn't read the first novel, it felt like bragging. It's a great message, just poorly written.
Great book by a sincere Christian who is a minister. Very convincing, lines right up with the Bible. I would recommend it to everyone, especially someone who just lost a loved one to death and who knows they were ready to meet the Lord. Very encouraging.
I am listening to this one on audio. I like the encouragement it offers and the tales of people's lives that have been touched by the author's experience. I am going to read the first book, "90 Minutes in Heaven" after I finish this.
This was the best book I have ever read in my entire life other than the Bible. It changed my life forever. It made me realize that I could overcome any problems and use those problems to bring others to know Jesus Christ.
Very rare that I don't finish a book. A friend lent me this one because I so enjoyed Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven. But this book was too repetitive of that story and I gave up 1/2 way through. Also too preachy!
This is a second book by the man who wrote 90 Minutes in Heaven. Very interesting reading as he continues his life journey and shares the lessons he has learned from it. A book to make you think.
I read different parts of this book to my teenage children and it really sparked an interest in them..My 15 yr old son actually joined church and got baptized last sunday..Thanx Mr. Piper
The authors are a little redundant, but the message is strong and moving. I enjoyed the book and recommend it to others, especially those who have suffered some kind of loss.
Enjoyed reading his account of what happened to him and how His journey helped him to recover from the health issues caused by his serious accident .
What a joy to read this book from a man who actually died and came back and is an inspiration to so many. Recommended for everyone.
A great book giving you a plan to deal with difficulties in your life. When you feel that you can't go on that your situation is hopeless there is always hope. You can't go back but you can have a new normal, a new beginning. Life is always worth living so live for Jesus.
In Heaven is Real, Piper shared how life's trials can be turned into spiritual lessons, when we are open to the certainty of God's grace and love.

This book is too much like 90 Minutes In Heaven and I really didn't get much out of it but I loved the first book.

ok so far. I had to put this book down and read his first book to fully appreciate these stories.
Now I not afraid to die and I know that I will see my Mom again and she will be as good as new.
I enjoyed this book! I'm a believer! And this man gave me chills
You need to read 90 minutes in Heaven but this is a great book!
An inspirational book about how to live a more godly and loving life from a man who went to heaven for ninety mintues and came back. The stories are nice and inspiring, but since the focus of this book is more on what he's learned and wants to pass on to others rather than on what happened to him (which you can read in "90 Minutes in Heaven"), I found myself wishing I had read that book first, as it probably would have helped fill in some of the backstory (even though he does a "Reader's Digest"...more
I liked this book as much as the first one.
compelling and easy to listen to, very authentic
JUST AS AMAZING AS THE ONE BEFORE IT!
Enlighten!☺
