This book is an awesome book; it's worth it for the first few chapters.
But I have to confess, I have never finished it!
It gets SO boring for me (maybe my age, 19?), it repeats itself a lot and the chronological order of events seems confused at times.
One paragraph he says he's suffering and gives the impression it's years, then the next he says "I'm out of hospital 5 months after the crash.".
There are facts in this book that i come back to time and time again in talking to non-christians and also to bolster my own faith.
It is a phenomenal story, and I've seen this guy in the flesh walking about (I believe he has a slight limp, but that may be a false memory of mine, should of taken more note.)
I would recommend this book to anyone, the story of the crash and his experience with heaven and what he experiences is absolutely amazing, it's so unbelievable!
My main critics of the book are as follows:
1) After heaven, it gets repetitive and boring, but is an awesome story.
2) It talks about heaven and how awesome it is, but I find nothing about Jesus and how to get there! About Jesus saviour of all? Things like that? I felt there should have been more evangelical stuff in here.
I must stress that the first few chapters of this book MAKE this book a purchase, I couldn't put it down... but by midway... I was flagging and I didn't make it past 2 thirds the way through.
Highly recommended review!
