"Snatched Up to Heaven" by Jemima Paul and Aravind Paul is a remarkable exploration of divine communication through the innocent voices of children. The authors delve into the intriguing idea that God sometimes chooses children as messengers, utilizing their relative innocence to convey profound messages. In this case, the messengers are Priyanka and Deepika, the daughters of the authors, who share a remarkable dream that takes them to the realms of heaven and hell.

What sets this book apart is the extraordinary detail provided by Priyanka and Deepika, despite their tender ages of 4 and 2, respectively. They offer a colorful explanation of the details of both heaven and hell, including their perspective on the view of Earth from heaven as a ball colored blue and green, along with vivid descriptions of their purple and pink wings, colorful dresses, tiaras, lush plants, and friendly animals.

The book takes an unexpected turn when Priyanka and Deepika share their experiences of hell during their journey with Jesus. Their descriptions of different punishments for various sins provide a thought-provoking glimpse into this often-feared realm.

The authors also included Bible verses related to the dreams shared by their children. The way the authors explain their children's dreams using these Bible verses makes it easier for readers to understand the message the authors are trying to convey. Additionally, at the end of the book, the author provides links to YouTube videos where Priyanka and Deepika talk about their dreams.

What I liked most about this book is the dedication of the parents to carefully listening to their children's dreams and sharing what they believe will be valuable to others. It's a testament to the authors' love and faith.

While "Snatched Up to Heaven" is undeniably a spiritual book with a Christian focus, it's important to recognize that readers may have different beliefs. The book is exceptionally well-edited and strongly reflects Christian religious views. While it may not align completely with my personal beliefs, I appreciate the diversity of perspectives and faith. Therefore, I would rate this book 4 out of 5.

In conclusion, this is a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching book. It presents a fascinating exploration of divine communication through the innocent eyes of children. I recommend it to those interested in matters of faith and spirituality.

I find it cute that the authors included their daughters in this book. Haha. Thank you for stating your thoughts so well.

Yes, the kids play a significant role in this book. I watched the YouTube testimonials of Priyanka and Deepika, and the way they say "Amma" with so much love was heartwarming and adorable. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by and share your valuable feedback.

I read and reviewed this book. Your rating is adequate and the review does justice to the book. I found it too religious for my liking. A few of the dreams felt too coherent for such young children. One can't deny the parents' influence on their children's recollection of the dreams.

It is great to hear parents listening to their children's dreams, believing them, and explaining them. This is something rare in the modern age. Don't ask how a 2 or 4-year-old can narrate eloquently, though.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

I liked reading your take on this book. I visited the YouTube clips shared by the authors as well. As much as I loved their innocence and the dedication of the parents, I could not agree with some parts regarding how the message was conveyed. I appreciate your balanced review.
