Snatched Up to Heaven! is a testimony narrated by two children and carefully documented by their parents. It can be difficult to believe children because sometimes what they say is just a product of their imagination. However, in this book, two sisters, Deepika and Priyanka, aged 2 and 4, respectively, narrated their dreams to their parents, and there was an unusual synchrony between the dreams that made their parents believe them. More so, their dreams had a strong correlation with the Bible, so they weren't just ordinary dreams or imaginations. According to the children, they were asleep, and in their dreams, they were taken up to heaven by angels and were given wings to fly. In heaven, they saw God, Jesus, angels, and some animals. They described heaven as a beautiful place made of pure gold, with beautiful things such as rainbows, flowers, and rivers. It was a place without sorrows. They also described Jesus as tall and handsome. They saw heaven's “Bible,” which contained nine rules that people in heaven must obey. They were allowed to play games, cook food, feed the plants and animals, swim, and have fun while there. They spent just two days in heaven and were then taken to hell, an ugly place with fire, the smell of urine and stool, and people who looked miserable and bored. There were ugly creatures like worms, slaves, and people who were tormented. The people in hell celebrated Halloween. Hell had its own "Bible," which contained 13 terrible rules that people there must obey. They also saw Satan, who had 2 horns and a black heart and was constantly accusing people on earth of not performing well, even when they did a good job. Their short adventure to heaven and hell ended, and they returned to their bodies on earth.

This book is divided into two parts, titled Heaven and Hell, each with ten chapters. As the children narrated these dreams, their parents linked them to the scriptures and made accurate interpretations of each. It is sometimes difficult to believe children, but these dreams were not ordinary. Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul did a great job by patiently listening to their children, writing down their dreams, and carefully interpreting them using biblical backings. This is a powerful Christian evangelical book with so much conviction. I was blessed, and my faith was strengthened, too. I give this book a solid rating of five out of five stars for the powerful messages it contains. I didn't encounter any grammatical or typographical errors while reading, indicating that it was exceptionally well edited. If you're a Christian who needs extra conviction on the realness of heaven and hell, Snatched Up to Heaven! is for you.
