Don Piper drives home from a conference on what seems like an ordinary day. A semitruck crosses into his lane and crushes his car. Medical personnel declare him dead at the scene. While his body lies motionless in the wreckage, Piper finds himself in heaven, overwhelmed by its beauty and celestial music. For ninety minutes, he experiences what he describes as inexpressible bliss. Then a minister arrives and begins praying over his lifeless form. Suddenly, Piper returns to life on earth. His miraculous revival marks only the beginning of his ordeal. A painful and difficult recovery process awaits him. Throughout his healing, Piper carries only memories of the heavenly realm he claims to have visited. His story challenges everything he thought he knew about life and death.
