90 Minutes in Heaven

The Good News Today Is...the book 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper was listed on Guideposts top seven books to read this summer. A lot of people read this book to find out just what 90 minutes in heaven is like. While that is interesting, it's not what this book is about. First, I don't think we are supposed to figure out what heaven is like, we are to believe by faith. I'm not sure that one person's recollection of a near death experience even gives us anymore idea about heaven than we ever had. However, in this book, what we learn from is the perseverance and ministry that we see after Don's near death experience. Wracked with pain, wishing he had died, Don Piper rallies to continue his life and use his suffering for the glory of God. Now that's a story! If you haven't read this book yet you're missing out on a great source of encouragement.
