[1]Another story has emerged of someone dying, going to heaven, then returning to tell the story of what heaven is like. Pastor Don Piper was on his way to church to lead a Bible Study, when a tractor trailer hit his Ford Escort. [2]

The Blaze reports,

Piper maintains that he died in that collision, with his lifeless body laying covered in a tarp on the pavement for more than an hour — all while his spirit purportedly visited heaven.

As the story goes, another pastor who was on site began praying over Piper for the duration of that time before seeing and hearing him purportedly come back to life under the coveri[3]ng of the tarp.

What followed was physically painful, as the injured pastor spent 13 months in the hospital and underwent 34 surgeries. But Piper never forgot the spiritual experience he claims to have had.

“Before Piper returned to life, and to a protracted physical recovery, he saw Heaven, met family members, friends, church folks, teachers … even joined the procession as a heavenly choir entered Heaven’s gates,” read a press release this week announcing that his story will be made into a Hollywood film.

Piper wrote in his book “90 Minutes in Heaven” that the afterlife is difficult to explain in worldly terms.

“Heaven’s light and texture defy earthly eyes or explanation. Warm, radiant light engulfed me,” he wrote[4]. “As I looked around, I could hardly grasp the vivid, dazzling colors. Every hue and tone surpassed anything I had ever seen.”

In an interview with CBN, below, Piper goes further into detail about heaven. He could hear the angels’ wings swishing, and when he returned to earth, one angel took his hand to lead him back. He saw God and observed that people looked ageless and there was no sense of time. Piper has written a book about the experience, 90 Minutes in Heaven, which is going to be made into a Hollywood movie. Watch the video below for his fascinating description, it will bring tears to your eyes.
