"Snatched Up to Heaven" is a captivating and exciting book about two young girls, Deepika and Priyanka, aged 2 and 4. Both girls claim to have visited heaven in a series of dreams, where they spent time with God, Jesus, angels, and other biblical figures.  After being in heaven for some time and getting shown around, the girls claim to have been taken for a visit to hell, where they saw Satan and other "bad people" suffering.

The kid's parents narrate the book and seem very attentive and detail-oriented when listening to their kids. They then record every detail of their kids' dreams and compare each part of it with the infallible word of God, the Bible.

In general, the book is a very engaging one that promotes family unity, love, and oneness. This can be seen when we use the example of the authors listening to their kids with profound attention, even though some of the experiences they described were described in a child-like way.
The authors also mention how they pray and read the Bible together, emphasizing the importance of oneness and unity in families. On the last pages of the book, there are family photos of the authors and their two daughters. This allows us to meet Deepika, Priyanka, and their families and have them in mind for relatable moments when re-reading the book.


However, the book is heavily based on Christian beliefs, with almost seventy percent quotations from the Bible, which I believe may disaffect readers from other religious backgrounds or, even better, non-believers.

My book ratings will be a solid 5 out of 5 stars. "Why 5 stars?" you might ask.  Even though I wouldn't call it 'perfect,' it is good to acknowledge the efforts made by the authors to submit to us a book written in simple, informative, and understandable language. The availability of minimal, if not zero, grammatical errors also indicates how professionally the book is edited.
