Synopsis

What if you woke up one morning knowing that it was your last day on earth? That’s what happened to the thief on the cross, who died a few feet from Jesus. Heaven, How I Got Here is his story, told in his own words, as he looks back from Heaven on the day that changed his eternity, and the faith that can change yours.

Review:

...brilliant idea beautifully executed...combines pastoral wisdom and narrative skill to help us get inside the heart and mind of the thief on the cross, crucified next to the Christ on Calvary. ~ Justin Taylor (Executive vice president, Crossway Books and blogger, "Between Two Worlds", Wheaton, Illinois)

I've never read anything like this! This compelling first-person account from a heavenly perspective helped me understand and appreciate what Jesus endured on the cross and why he did it. ~ Collin Hansen (Editorial Director, The Gospel Coalition and author of "Blind Spots")

Here is a gripping account of God's amazing grace that comes alive as recounted from this unusual and really helpful perspective. ~ Alistair Begg (Senior Pastor, Parkside Church, Chagrin Falls, Ohio)

How I wish that every skeptic and every believer would read this book! ~ Erwin Lutzer (Senior Pastor, Moody Church, Chicago, Illinois)
