For the next 90 minutes, Piper experienced the glories of heaven, where he was greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually and experienced true peace.
Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference was led to pray for the accident victim even though he knew Don was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life, and the bliss of heaven was replaced by a long and painful recovery.

For years Don Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story. Now recording his story on audio CD, Don Piper recounts the experience that dramatically changed his life.
