På väg hem från en konferens totalförstördes Don Pipers bil av en långtradare som kommit över på fel körfält. Ambulanspersonalen som kom till olycksplatsen konstaterade att han omkommit omedelbart efter kollisionen. Medan hans kropp låg livlös i den kraschade bilen upplevde Piper himlens härlighet och förundrades av dess skönhet och musik. Nittio minuter efter olyckan, då en pastor bad för Piper, återvände han till livet på jorden. Han hade upplevt himlen, men kom tillbaka till en sönderslagen kropp och en lång och smärtsam rehabilitering. 90 minuter i himlen ger en inblick i himlens verklighet. Boken uppmuntrar den som går igenom smärta och kamp eller som har mist någon nära anhörig. Don Pipers upplevelse förändrade hans liv fullständigt och att läsa om den kommer att förändra även ditt liv!
