Book Reviews of 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
Book Review: 90 minutes in Heaven, 1 Plus Year in Recovery Hell
Summary: 3 Stars
This book describes the experience of an accident and recovery, a very traumatic recovery, and also the effect on the lives of he and his family and how it impacted his career as a Pastor. Oh, by the way, in his mind he had a 90 minute existence in Heaven. But that is such a small part of the book. The book is really about the traumatic recovery and it was quite an experience to share. Also, the impact of the people including family that helped with his recovery provides great warmth as Piper goes through depression.
Overall, this is a fast, effective read. It isn't a spiritual awakening to me, just an excellent story.
Book Review: 90 Minutes in Heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper is an inspiration book that will life your spirits and force you to make a true decision whether or not there is a Heaven or Hell. It may not be 100% accurate since Don was in a terrible accicent and pronounced dead for over 90 minutes. I read this book in one sitting....it is that mesmerizing. Since my wife experienced a glimpse of Heaven the day before she passed away, I can relate to Don's story and believe it to be as accurate as is possible. READ IT...you will not regret itBook Review: 90 Minutes in Heaven

First just let me say that, I can't even begin to imagine the physical and mental anguish that Mr. Piper went through, and i am truly sorry for his pain.
I feel pretty bad that I didn't care for this book. I couldn't wait to get it over with! Don Piper is not a very articulated writer that's why he co-wrote the book, however even with two people writing it was very repeatative and boring! He didn't really discuss his "90 Minutes in Heaven" the book was all about his recovery and how much he wanted to die and go back to that majestic palace.
"How could GOD let me see Heaven and then take it all away"? was a sentence that repeated itself all through the book, almost in every few paragraphs! It's was like...ok get over yourself, GOD obviously brought you back for a reason, accept your challange and move on! If you now fully believe that there is a heaven because you witnessed it for 90 minutes then what's the rush? You'll get there someday! He had a wife, children, family, and a loving church congregation that he so selfishly was willing to just let go and have them deal with the torment of his death.
Another thing that bothered me alot was his discription (or lack there of) of heaven. He would write that the colors were so vibrant....but no earthy words can describe them. The voices of the angels were so elegant...but no earthy words can describe them. Over and over I would be brought up high at the thought of what heaven could possibly be like from someone who actually witnessed it, and then he would bring me crashing down in the very next sentence!! I fully comprehend that GOD is amazing and that heaven is going to be like nothing we've ever seen, however it can be written in a way to let our imaginations run wild. In the book "The Shack" William Young gave such detail that I even heard music in my head and was invisioning the scenes. The Shack did not take place in heaven but it was a heavenly place.
If you want to be truly moved from a book about GOD "The Shack" is what I would recommend (you can check out my review on that too!), although it is fiction it's more captivating and moving than Mr. Piper's book! Reading the shack made my relationship closer to GOD, I laughed, cried, and rejoiced!

Don Piper had me hooked until the end when he started to disavow any other near death experiences. It was like he was making fun of other folks who had similar experiences. I have a particular mistrust of people who claim to be a Christian and judge other people, especially in a negative light. People perceive and relate their feelings, experiences and emotions to situations very differently than anyone else would when those experiences are similar. But to disavow and actually make fun of another's near death experience makes me wonder if his was an actuality.
