This non-fiction book is about the experiences of the author's two daughters and their dreams about visiting heaven. I especially like how the author doesn't dismiss the girls' dream but rather shares their story through this book. Congrats on the BOTD!

It’s interesting how two girls dreamt of heaven and their dreams match the descriptions in the Bible well. It makes me wonder if they didn’t read it before having these dreams. This book sounds unique.

This sounds very interesting. I can only hope that it is really true. Congratulations on BOTD!

I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this book. The book hasn't completely convinced me, nor has it piqued my interest. The plot appears to be a little far-fetched and surreal. Congratulations to the author, however, for winning the #BOTD.

This seems like a book for religious parents to read with their little ones. I'll pass on it for now, though. Thanks for the review.

It seems like a good idea to present the representation of heaven as seen by two little girls in their dreams. However, I'm not interested in Christian books, so I won't be reading it.

If the events in this book are real, then I would like to know more about Priyanka and Deepika, who met Jesus. Thanks for this insightful review.

Snatched Up to Heaven! by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul is a non-fiction book that shares the dreams of two sisters, Priyanka and Deepika, about heaven.

In 2011, Priyanka and Deepika, daughters of the authors, had dreams about heaven when they were four and two years old, respectively. One night while they were asleep, angels carried the girls to heaven, where they met Jesus. After the angels brought them back to reunite with their earthly bodies, and they awoke, Priyanka prayed very hard and asked God to let her visit again. And over the course of several more dreams, the girls were guests in heaven, and they continued to share their experiences with their parents. Hence, in this book, the authors present Priyanka and Deepika's reports without embellishing or editing their words and compare their accounts with what the Bible says about heaven.

Firstly, I must say that I am in awe of how correctly the girls' dreams match the biblical descriptions of heaven. Considering the girls' ages, I wondered how they could give accurate descriptions that agree with what the Bible says. Through the links in the book, I also watched YouTube videos where the girls shared some of the visions. Readers will appreciate how the authors have left the children's accounts unedited, as it authenticates the book's contents. I must also commend the authors for listening to their children, taking their visions seriously, and sharing them with us through this book, as it would help revive our hopes of eternal glory through Jesus.

What I like most about this book is the authors' harmonization of the girls' accounts with the teachings in the Bible. In the 'My Interpretation' sections of the book, coming after each vision, the authors use Bible verses to corroborate and interpret what the girls saw in their dreams. For example, Priyanka told her parents that she and her sister got tiaras adorned with sparkling stones from Jesus. It agrees with the Lord's promise to award the righteous in heaven with the crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:8). More so, there's also a reward for sinfulness, and I am glad that Jesus also showed the girls the fate of the unrighteous in hell.

Furthermore, the message that this book seeks to spread is both relevant and inspiring. While many Christians know what they must do to gain eternal life, some are ignorant of the commission to evangelize and inform others about Jesus. This book teaches and encourages us to do that and also keep doing what is right in the hope of reaping heavenly rewards through Jesus. I also enjoyed how the authors provided insights into earthly celebrations like Christmas and Halloween and the correct way to lead children to Christ.

Personally, there's nothing to dislike about the book, and I am glad that the discussions are easy to follow and understand. I am also happy to report that I found only two typos throughout this 131-page book. Therefore, I happily rate this publication four out of four stars. I highly recommend it to readers interested in the eternal destinies of the righteous and unrighteous, especially Christians inspired by the testimonies of others.

This book will be a good fit for a Christian family, where both adults and children can receive insightful messages regarding their faith.

Although I am Christian too, I simply dislike this kind of books. The review, however, was perfect, telling us about the contents of the book and certainly making lots of people want to read it.

Thanks for the review. I won't be reading this book because it goes against me personal beliefs from my study of the Bible. As John 3:13 puts it, "Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man." That said, I don't believe dreams and visions are gateways to ascend and descend from heaven at will.

As much as I appreciate your enthusiasm for this book, I remain skeptical of this kind of story. I have to remind myself that people cling to their belief of such experiences quite devoutly, and it means the world to them; stories like this clearly satisfy and encourage them. Your review is very well-presented and sincere - thank you.
