Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul.]
Snatched up to Heaven, written by Jemima Paul with Arvind Paul, is a unique book on familiar subjects such as Christian beliefs, worshipping God and staying away from the sins or devil's deeds. It is exceptional because it is not just an ordinary preaching book that one can find anywhere. Instead, it is a testimonial of all those beliefs in the form of the writer's kids' visions. The writer Jemima Paul and her husband, Arvind Paul, are staunch believers of Christ and His teachings and try to convey those teachings to other people to the best of their abilities.
Their passion for this holy work became even more potent when their 2- and 4-year-old daughters, Deepika and Priyanka, started having visions of Heaven and Hell. The mother was dumbfounded when she heard her little girls describing their visions and matched them with the sayings in the Bible. She could find the proof of every vision in the Holy Book through verses by God. This made the parents' faith in God even more unflinching.
Although the book seems too fantastical initially, one can realize later that it did happen. The fact that the kids were very young when they had the visions of Heaven and Hell is incredible. I really liked how the mother handled all of this and believed her kids after finding references to every vision in the Bible. The way that she has documented all of it is also very systematic. Every chapter begins with a Bible saying related to the chapter's topic. Then there is a description of the kids' visions and the mother's interpretation. She has left no small detail while trying to look for the references in the Holy Book and presented them not just in the form of passages and paragraphs but has drawn comparisons in the form of tables as well. This gives the readers a lucid picture of everything.
I believe the kids' visions will give goosebumps to the believers because they described them and showed them through feeding the animals and cleaning the house. According to them, they all learned it in Heaven. At first, it all would have been presented in dialogues between the mother and the daughters as it happened. But I was pleased to find at the end of the book that the author provided the links to those conversations. So, I clicked on the links and watched the kids' testimonies. It was thoughtful of the writer to let the readers see with their own eyes.
There was nothing I disliked about the book. It has been written in simple, easy-to-understand language. There are some points on which many people can disagree with the author, such as her thoughts about Halloween. Some can say that it is just a festival, others might agree with her that we shouldn't celebrate it as it is a devil's festival. But this is all a subjective approach. The entire book has only one typo, which makes it professionally well-edited. For this reason, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
I recommend this book to people of all ages who believe in the concepts of good and evil, Heaven and Hell and most importantly, the teachings of Christ.
