I think there are some books you are just meant to read. The cover calls to you or perhaps the title means something. But whatever it is you know it when you see it.
That’s what happened when I saw People I Met at The Gates of Heaven by Don Piper listed for review. I knew I was meant to read it and I’m so glad that I was able to do so. Now I want to share my thoughts with you.
Perfect for gift giving this holiday season, you have to check out this awesome book!

ABOUT:
Picking up where bestselling 90 Minutes in Heaven left off, Don Piper reveals for the first time the sacred, intimate details of the people who met him at the gates of heaven and the profound impact they had on his faith on earth.
In this incredible follow-up to his eight-million-copy bestseller, 90 Minutes in Heaven, Don Piper shares untold stories about his encounters with people who greeted him at the gates of heaven, and offers powerful insights about the way for us to live our lives on earth.
Don Piper’s unforgettable account of a horrific car accident that took his life, and what happened next has riveted more than eight million readers. Something happened as he shared his story in the years since. Not only did Piper realize he had more to tell, he had yet to share the most sacred and intimate details of his time in heaven about the people who met him at the gates. “I have never left a speaking engagement without people wanting to know more,” he said in THE PEOPLE I MET IN HEAVEN, Piper takes readers deeper into his experience, which includes never-before-told encounters with the people who met him when he arrived in heaven-those who helped him on his journey that led to the entrance to God’s heavenly home. Even more, Piper recounts the majesty of heaven and the glorious reunion that awaits us there. He offers practical insights, inspiration, and a challenging call that while we’re on earth we need to obey Jesus’ command to “go and make disciples of all nations.”
People I Met at The Gates of Heaven by Don Piper
This book is the sequel to another book that was published 15 years ago. The highly popular 90 Minutes in Heaven told the story of a horrific accident and the fact that the author died in that accident but came back to life on earth.
This book is a opportunity for the author to answer many questions that were asked by his readers and followers. But it also delves into a never before talked about portion of his trip to heaven. That is speaking about the people that he met as he walked up to the gates of heaven.
I have not read the first book but even so the description of what occurred in some of the results of his last book are included in this are simply phenomenal. There are many times I would read and tears would be rolling down my face.
I think the fact is that we all have someone were missing dearly in our life and we want to know what happened to them. Are we destined for heaven? How do we know we’re going to heaven? And who will be there to greet us?
Piper tries to answer these questions and so many more in his eloquent manner. Truth of the matter is we have to be a believer in Jesus Christ and be able to share that message with others in order to be welcomed into heaven. We have to believe that Jesus died for us. We have to share that message and bring others to Jesus as well.
The author talks a lot about those people he met in heaven and why they were there to greet him at the gates. He talks about the joy and radiance you can see on their faces as they welcome him. He talks specifically about these people who greeted him and how important they were in his walk to Christianity. That’s why they were at the gate. They were greeting him because they helped with his belief.
The author explains so much and answers so many questions about heaven for the short time that he was there. He talks about why he was sent back to earth to live in a painful and broken body. And he attempts to answer so many other questions.
He talks about the why questions. Why did God take my loved ones? What happens to our bodies in heaven? Do we become angels in heaven? And so many more.
From the main message throughout this incredible story is who is going to be in heaven because of you. That is one question that can actually be kind of scary but yet propel us into action.
This book is an amazing and comforting read that I highly recommend to anyone who Is a Christian or anyone who is questioning their faith or lack of faith. It’s a remarkable testimony that humbles me and makes me think about who’s going to be in heaven because of me.
Piper shares so much of his knowledge and teachings in this remarkable, emotional story. It is simply one that everyone needs to read and gift to someone you love.
