35 not-so-random things about Heaven

A friend of mine keeps encouraging me to read Randy Alcorn's book, "Heaven". My friend talks about how he and his wife read as much information as they could in the year before they took a vacation to Maui, and that Christians should be spending a lot more time reading about where we will spend eternity.

Peter Kreeft, a professor of philosophy at Boston College and an author, recently wrote an article for ChristianBibleStudies.com that answers 35 frequently asked questions about Heaven. He points out that answers to these questions come from divine revelation -- God sharing "inside information".

After reading Kreeft's article, I am even more intrigued about where I will spend eternity. Maybe I'll get around to reading Randy Alcorn's book soon.

Bill O'Reilly interviews author of "90 Minutes in Heaven"

Don Piper, a man who was pronounced clinically dead after a car crash back in 1989, was interviewed this week on "The O'Reilly Factor." Piper wrote a best-selling book, "90 Minutes in Heaven," about his experience. But it wasn't his time yet:

PIPER: All I remember is being at the gates and about to enter after a lot of other magnificent things that I saw and heard. As it turns out, 90 minutes after the truck hit me, a man climbed into the car and, because he felt like God spoke to him, started praying over me, even though he knew I was dead.

Suddenly, I found myself back in the car under the tarp in the dark. He's singing a hymn, and he's making me sing it with him. And I had no idea what had happened to me.

Piper added that heaven was such a magnificent experience that he can't wait to go back.
