The book, Snatched Up to Heaven!, penned by Aravind Paul and Jemima Paul, serves as a testimony to the experiences of their children, Priyanka and Deepika, during their purported visit to Heaven and Hell. Within this book, the mother skillfully translates her children’s visions of these celestial and infernal realms with the aid of Bible verses.

The book commences by intricately narrating Deepika and Priyanka’s dreamlike journey to Heaven. The children vividly describe God and Jesus, recount their interactions with the angels who transported them to Heaven, and share their experiences of how Heaven feels in comparison to Earth. As the mother compares the detailed descriptions provided by the children about Heaven to the verses in the Bible, she arrives at a profound conclusion that these are not ordinary dreams, but rather visions bestowed upon them through divine guidance from God and Jesus. 

In subsequent pages of the book, the children assert that Jesus took them to Hell as well. They describe what Hell felt like, and overall, they convey that their experience in Hell was deeply unsettling. The mother expresses her concern that in contemporary times, people seem more interested in celebrating Halloween, which is related to demons and monsters, rather than embracing the significance of Christmas and Easter. At the conclusion of the book, the authors thoughtfully offer readers YouTube links to view the children’s testimonials and share images of Heaven and Hell, hand-drawn by the kids. These multimedia elements enhance the reader’s connection with the book, providing a more immersive experience.

I appreciate how the authors prioritize their children’s accounts of their journey to Heaven and Hell instead of dismissing them as mere dreams. This demonstrates the significance and attentiveness they afford to their children. Furthermore, I admire the family’s steadfast faith in God, as well as their meticulous comparison of each description provided by the children of Heaven and Hell with verses from the Bible.

There’s nothing I dislike about the book. The descriptions of Hell and demons are not excessively frightening but might be triggering for some children. The book does not contain any profanity.

The book is professionally edited and appears to be exceptional, as I couldn’t find any errors. I give Snatched Up to Heaven! [/b]5 out of 5 stars[/b] due to its error-free editing and detailed descriptions of every reference. I recommend this book to both adults and children, under the guidance of their parents, given its supernatural elements, including slight descriptions of monsters and demons. This book is better suited for readers who believe in Christianity.

How interesting. These girls are becoming modern-day prophets. I have never heard of children having visions of meeting Jesus and God before reading the review of this book. The visits to heaven and hell are rare to hear of as well. This devoutly Christian family is indeed blessed. Thank you for this informative review. :tiphat:
