The book starts out like any other with some preface about the start of someones life and then goes into an interesting description of what happened to him the hour and he was pronounced dead. This was an awesome description and very detailed if it could get any more detailed, I for one would have to agree with the writer, Don Piper, that there is only so many human words to describe the pleasure of being in Heaven.
But, I don't think thats why God told him to write the book. He goes on to talk about the things that happened in his life after he was pronounced alive and the struggle he went through. This is what makes this book an 11 on my scale of 1-10. He goes through more struggles in a short amount of time that most people don't face in a lifetime.
Towards the end of his journey he is battling depression very bad and hasn't over come it yet, and it was the little things that people do that brought this man from his lowest point to the top of the mountain were he is now. I think this is so true for my life right now, to enjoy the little things in life; the time with my kids, my wife, the smiles the laughter. I have neglected the ones I love in many different ways, as I'm sure most people do, but this book has opened my eyes that we give all the glory to God even when we are down. I think that this book has given me a better outlook on life and the way I should keep Joy in my heart and give everything to God.
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be Dismayed, for I am
your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you
with my victorious right hand" Isaiah 41:10
