Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
The gripping novel, Snatched Up to Heaven by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul, describes the real-life experiences of their two young girls, Deepika (2 years old) and Priyanka (4 years old), who had vivid dreams and glimpses of Heaven and Hell.
Under the guidance of passionate teachers in both preschool and church, the young girls learned about Christ. Remarkably, despite their limited vocabulary, they used precise language to describe their spiritual experiences. Each vision is meticulously supported by specific Bible verses, providing a scriptural foundation for their revelations.
The book's structure is concise, organized, and directly to the point. A particularly commendable aspect is how the authors included Biblical references following each dream and vision. This feature enhances the book's educational value, making it suitable for children to grasp the concepts of eternity, heaven, and hell. It also serves as an excellent resource for parents aiming to raise their children in accordance with Christian values, setting an example for them to follow.
One of the book's unique elements is the inclusion of YouTube links to videos capturing the children describing their visions. The authenticity of Priyanka’s expressions and her mother's interactions in the background add a touching, personal dimension to the narrative. The authors also share the profound impact these revelations had on their family, further highlighting the book's inspirational message.
The narrative raises important theological questions: What is Heaven? What is Hell? What transpires in these realms? What emotions do they evoke? What is the afterlife's reality based on one's earthly deeds? These questions are addressed through the simple yet profound vocabulary of the young girls, making the book accessible and engaging.
Moreover, the book delves into the controversial topic of Halloween, examining its practice and implications. Should Halloween be celebrated or abolished? What is its true meaning, and what are the long-term effects on those who partake in it? These questions are thoughtfully explored within the book, providing a comprehensive Christian perspective.
I love the author's initiative to document the children's visions through video recordings, shared via YouTube links. This multimedia approach enriches the reader's experience, offering a visual and auditory complement to the written word. The positive influence of the children’s revelations on their family is also highlighted, adding depth to the narrative.
In conclusion, I rate Snatched Up to Heaven 5 out of 5 stars for its scriptural integrity, clarity of language, inclusion of the girls' journal excerpts, and overall precision. The authors and editors did a great job with the book. Its content is both profound and accessible, making it a valuable read for every Christian home.

Exactly, It is a good book for Christian families of all age groups. Thank you for the engagement, Rhea._Rhea Jacob wrote: ↑17 Aug 2024, 22:51 It is indeed a good book for Christian families. I agree with you that the videos of the children talking about their dreams will not only give a personal touch, but also help other families and children understand the book better through its multimedia approach. Awesome job on your review!
