Customer Reviews for Baker 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
Baker 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life
On a Wednesday morning in 1989 Pastor Don Piper died in a head-on collision, awaking in Heaven where he experienced the glories he had long preached about. Ninety minutes later, prayer brought him back to life, and the next time he awoke it was to a world of unimaginable pain, depression and anger. This is the story of Piper's healing and his journey to finding the answer to his most agonizing question: Why had God let him live?

Very lovely chapter on heaven portrayed as much more than playing the harp.
Felt so sorry for Don Piper's recall to earth and having to go through such great suffering. Yet, he accepts God's will.

Briefly covering the most significant points:
- Don Piper contradicts himself, showing his dishonesty. He clearly says at 13:22 of the attached video that he saw God. However, in page 30 of his book, Don Piper clearly says "I did not see God".
- There is a litany of issues with what Don Piper describes of what he saw in heaven - mansions and such.
- Don Piper gives a very detailed account of what he saw in heaven. Now, only 3 men in the New Testament were allowed a glimpse of heaven. (1) Right before he was stoned, Stephen said (Acts 7:56) "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." That is either all he saw or all he described of what he saw. That's it. (2) John – who wrote Revelations. (3) Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. Paul, "whether in the body or out of the body", he did not know, was "caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
These are the only 3 accounts. Now Paul, who roughly wrote a third of the New Testament, was not allowed to tell us what he saw in heaven. Even with that inability to tell us, he was given a "thorn in the flesh" in 2 Cortinthians 12:7, so that he would not become prideful - "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me". Paul wasn't even allowed to say, and even then we was given a thorn in the flesh to prevent pride. How then is it that Don Piper is allowed to give us such a detailed account?

Don’t waste your time with this book. You are much better off looking at something like “Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis.

This is a great story. It really makes one stop and appreciate each day they have. Also reminded me that many people have far greater challenges than I do. Story would be great for individual or small group study/discussion.

This book was recommended to me by someone I worked with. Due to a recent loss of a friend and the sickness of another, I ordered the book. The story had me riveted to the pages and both laughing and crying at the events that unfolded. It was if I was there and could feel the joy and the pain that was experienced. I would recommend this to everyone.

Although I was looking for more descriptions of being in heaven, the pain and suffering Don endure during his recovery is an inspiration to every one. God let him live to minister to people that suffered similar accidents that utilized the same painful medical procedures that he went through.

I liked it because even though Don got a glimpse of heaven he still had to suffer the pain of recovery and doubt as to why he was allowed to live.

Book really did not describe heaven like it advertised.It leads one to think that it would tell about Heaven and it did not. I felt that it falsely advertised. It talked about Heaven very little in the text of describing what it was like.

This is a awesome book for those who have recently lost a loved one. It is such a comfort. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I bought it for my neighbor who lost his mother recently, as I have a copy I bought when I lost my dad. It gives you a feeling of peace and takes away some of the pain. I found such comfort through this book.

I am usually very skeptical about writings about life after death (some are new age). However this one is the real deal. I know this because I worked as a hospice nurse for years, and I heard many accounts from my patients (not one was unbiblical). One man that I took care of had died and been resuscitated (long story); his description of heaven was identical to this book. I actually heard his description prior to reading this book; and when I read this account, I bought many to hand out to those who were grieving the loss of loved ones. If you are leery about reading anything that might not be biblical, you needn't worry about reading this book. It is biblical and it will bless you tremendously.

The author explains his experiences in heaven in a very descriptive, and yet un-exaggerated, way. I have always had faith in God and heaven, but I didn't have an idea of what exactly I could look forward to. After reading this book, I began to look forward to the day when God calls me home.

when I staretd reading this I thought it was another well flake. I am now on the last chapter and this is a very very good book. The journey this man goes on is truly a faith tester and i believe it is true from the way it was written and the way it is portrayed. I will finish it tonight but it is a very good book and I thank you for sharing your story with the world and god bless you for what you have endured and what you have brought to so many people. God bless

Don Piper risked ridicule and wrote of his accident and what he experienced following that ordeal. For those who are believers in Jesus Christ, Don's account of Heaven gives all who read it a peace for those loved ones who have departed from this temporary life on earth, and a hope for us who have yet to die. This book and his second, "Heaven is Real" offers strength and courage to those who must live with adversity on a daily basis, but also for those whose difficulties are only temporary. It's wonderful reading that follows along with scripture.

Overall Rating:
HE DIED & WENT TO HEAVEN -- LITERALLY!
Date:November 4, 2010
"90 Minutes in Heaven" is a well-written, inspirational book about a Baptist minister who literally died, went to heaven and came back to life again. His description of heaven was vivid -- enough to make you want to go there! He also recalls coming back to the "living hell" of long-term recover and depression, but also recalls how the Lord has used his situation to hlep others. This book will literally give you goosebumps! Highly recommended.
