Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
Posted: 12 Aug 2024, 06:37
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul.]
"Snatched Up to Heaven!" is a Christian book by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul, the parents of Priyanka and Deepika. These little girls, aged four and two at the time, were fortunate to experience a visit to heaven, and their experiences are documented in this book. Priyanka and Deepika dreamt of being carried in Jesus’ arms to heaven, where they witnessed many events described in the book of Revelation. Among these was the appearance of angels dressed in shiny linens. The parents did a commendable job of correlating what their daughters saw with passages in the Bible, using standard and appropriate Bible verses, which makes the account convincing. The girls saw the wounds Jesus incurred when He was nailed to the cross, the golden streets of heaven, and the rainbow mentioned in the book of Revelation by John.
I appreciate how the parents believed in their children and made sure to document these dreams. God has miraculous ways of reaching people, and one of them is through dreams and visions. Another aspect I liked is the inclusion of Bible verses from both the New and Old Testaments, which attests to the spiritual depth of Jemima and Arvind Paul. This makes it less surprising that their daughters were able to envision themselves in heaven. The book emphasises the importance of parents ensuring that their children remain steadfast in faith. I also learnt from the book that the children repeatedly mentioned the angels and saints worshipping and praising God, which suggests that if believers do not incorporate these activities into their daily lives, it may be difficult to adopt them in heaven.
I have no negative remarks about this book. However, I would like to clarify something that was mentioned. The mother expressed her happiness that her children were able to stay on the right and left-hand sides of Jesus, which might seem to contradict Jesus' teaching that these positions are reserved for those who have earned them through their faith. Nevertheless, this does not affect my rating. The book is short, which allowed me to finish it quickly. Additionally, there were no errors that disrupted my reading. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
