This book read like a novel and it held my attention to the end. It really deepened my awareness and broaden my knowledge of heaven. I lent my copy to a friend and bought another one as a gift to my Pastor. I am a Christian for 40 years and John Burke did a wonderful job of lining up the Near Death Experiences with Scripture. The research is from credible sources. If you are a Christian this will be like a revealing of all God has in plan for Believers. If you are not a Christian this book is full of facts and presented in a non-critical and humble way. I was amazed at the common elements of people of all ages and cultures who experienced Near Death Experiences. According to the research most experienced love like they never experienced on earth, colors and beauty beyond anything they ever knew, and Heaven's reality was more heightened and earth's reality paled against it. Those that had bad experiences said the horror was beyond anything they have heard of on earth, but a man of light came to them with incredible love. Some of these folks became Christians. This book is a good and interesting read and I recommend it to anyone with a open mind. Read full review

Loved this book! It was hard to put down! It's a wonderfully well organized compilation of near death experiences from people of all different backgrounds, countries, languages, and belief systems. The Christian author supported these spoken stories with actual verses from the Bible to show how they are related. It was a joy to read and reflect on plus it changed many of my ideas of what Heaven would be like. It's certainly an awesome place with the existence of pure, true love everywhere. You will be mesmerized by these recorded stories of amazing colors, skies, grass, all vegetation, animals, birds, bodies of water, how people look, travel, communicate, etc. You won't like the "hellish" part though. All in all, it's a great book to read!

My 27 year old son passed away November 8, 2017 and a friend recommended this book to me. It kind of gave me mixed emotions because I wish my son would have had a chance to come back because he had just spent 7 years earning his civil engineering degree. But I also know, by reading these accounts, that he is in a better place. A place of Light and Love known as Heaven. 💕 I've drawn closer to God since his death and reading this and I can't wait to see the place the Lord has prepared for me... All in His time... We have our plans but the Almighty has His and we need to live to get to His Promise. I bought a second book to give to a friend! I love you son. 💔 Until we meet again! 👼

This book is excellent. For anybody who is interested in NDEs (or death experiences) it is compelling and awe-inspiring. The author has done a great job at compiling stats from hundreds of cases and has included excerpts from many to give the reader a real sense of what many people experience when they die and then are brought back to life. It's hard to put down. There are so many descriptions of Heaven and even a few horrible instances of hell.

I have been studying NDE's and those who claim to have been taken to heaven for 25 years. This is the most energizing topic for anyone to read and Burke has comprehensively tied together all of it in one place referencing scripture along the way. If people knew what God has prepared for them, they would start living for it and send their treasure on ahead. If you are not excited about it, well, that is proof of spiritual blindness and warfare. How can anything else compare when experiencers say they never wanted to come back to this world which seemed fake by comparison ? Get this book !!
