Title: Very contrived
Product review: I really did want to enjoy this book and I was hoping that Piper would offer some fresh details about his experience in "heaven" but to be honest, his "heaven" is just one silly cliche after another. Streets paved with gold, angel wings flapping, the pearly gate, heaven's inhabitants walking the street screaming, Hallelujah! Praise to God!!! GIMME A BREAK...if I have to spend eternity with my arms in the air crying out AMEN! PRAISE BE! GLORY TO THE LORD! I would rather go the other way.....I would have been so much more convinced of this story if, let's say, it had been written by a lay person or someone who didn't have much of a belief in God BEFORE the accident...but a minister who becomes a regular on Pat Robertson's show? That just sends the whole credibility factor down to nill. This book just seemed to me like a Texas holy roller trying to make some dough with his preachy, fairy-tale, phony-as-can-be account of a near death experience that may or may not have really happened.
