Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul.]
In 'Snatched Up to Heaven!' by Jemima Paul in collaboration with her husband Arvind Paul, we embark on an extraordinary journey into the dreams of their daughters, Priyanka (aged 4) and Deepika (aged 2). These dreams, far from ordinary, transport the young girls to both heaven and hell, and the book serves as a detailed account of their experiences.
Structured meticulously, the book includes a Foreword, Prologue, Epilogue, and an appendix featuring videos, pictures, and drawings that complement the narrative's main components: heaven and hell. Right from the start, it is clear that this book is something special and unique. Leveraging her background in Christian education, the author skillfully introduces essential concepts, integrating relevant Bible verses seamlessly into the discussion.
But what sets this book apart from others with similar topics is its depth beyond mere description of the daughters' dreams. Jemima conducts a thorough and thoughtful analysis of the dreams' significance, grounding her interpretations in biblical teachings.
These days, there's no shortage of books and accounts recounting individuals' experiences of visiting heaven and hell, often through dreams or near-death encounters. It's natural to harbor doubts about the authenticity of these narratives—what if they're mere fabrications or falsehoods? What's refreshing about Jemima's approach is her acknowledgment of these doubts and her adept handling of them within the narrative. She navigates these questions with grace, seamlessly integrating them into the storytelling while providing compelling details and clear explanations that reassure readers and deepen their connection to the remarkable story of the girls.
Jemima skillfully utilizes this subject matter to share not only her family's experience and the profound impact it has had on their lives, particularly in their spiritual journey inspired by the girls' dreams, but also to impart biblical teachings to the reader. Through the use of graphics and tables, she effectively summarizes key points, enhancing clarity and understanding. Additionally, Jemima breaks the fourth wall to directly address the reader, adding a unique dimension to the reading experience.
As someone familiar with Christianity and its teachings, I found the book to be a deeply rewarding read. I resonated with many of the analyses presented and discovered new perspectives on familiar verses and concepts. Despite its overt religious themes, I believe both religious and non-religious readers can appreciate the book's writing quality, concise length, and flawless editing. It offers a quick, engaging, and meaningful reading experience. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars because I was impressed by its impact and the meticulous editing evident throughout the book.
