Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul.]
Thrillingly and engagingly, a tale of two young sisters, Priyanka and Deepika, discovering the afterlife unfolds in "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul. This is the story as recalled by four-year-old Priyanka on the fateful night Jesus took her, along with her sister, to heaven. The exciting accounts that they tell about their experiences are priceless when challenging the perception that we may have of faith and eternity, which unveils theological truths no less incredible, with the tellers being so young.
The book outlines not only the enchanting experiences in heaven and hell but also consolidates needed knowledge from the Bible that seems to glide well with the reader. In fact, what Paul does well is weave in the testimonies of the girls with references to the scripture into a fine tapestry of insights for lighting up difficult concepts like faith, grace, and the nature of the afterlife.
The clarity and force with which the sisters declare their own experiences call out to be aware of purity and simplicity—thence childlike faith—and therefore challenge one to consider one's own beliefs. "Snatched Up to Heaven!" is one such book that features accessible language and approachable themes from a Christian perspective yet is of interest to both the Christian world and the inquisitive. The lessons on heaven and hell are communicated in such a manner that it urges the reader to question their spiritual journey and destiny as shaped by their choices in this life.
It is, therefore, more than recounting sensational experience; it is a guide to an eternal existence in the present. The book was flawlessly edited so that the narrative was always interesting while still holding on to the voices of the girls. Paul's thoughtful arrangement of the material has also made it easy reading for readers to find their way through the powerful teachings of Christianity, therefore making it a very informative material meant for anyone interested in unraveling deeper understandings of their faith.
In a nutshell, "Snatched Up to Heaven!" is far from being some true account of two children's fanciful happenings; it has rather become one powerful testimony of faith and its benefits. This is a book that, I feel, should be read by Christians and seekers of Christianity; its insight and inspiration must be savored. For the engagement in narrative and profundity in lessons, among others, this book deserves a perfect 4 out of 4. I don't have any negative comments about the book as it is perfectly written and edited.
