The book appears to heavily lean on teachings from the Bible. As a non-Christian, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time comprehending the essence of the book.

Latest Review: Sooner Secrets by Shelley L. Levisay

Post by Kibet Hillary »

I am glad that apart from the dreams themselves, the authors have made every effort to corroborate the dreams with what is actually written down in the Holy Bible, which is the ultimate written authority Christians have. The need to obey the Great Commission is also a wake-up call to many others who have forgotten this important mission.

This non-fiction book tells of two sisters just two and four years old who went to heaven and then told their parents about it. The reviewer states that the girls tell about things that are straight from the Bible. This is quite astonishing and intriguing. I think it would be great to read Snatched Up to Heaven! by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul. It may possibly convince some people to live in a more upright way. There is also the fact that people are supposed to tell others about Jesus and God and evangelize so as to save yourself and others.

Thanks for the great review. I have always been fascinated by stories of people going to heaven or hell. However, most of the ones I've come across are from near death experiences and their narrative sounded highly suspicious. I appreciate that the authors went an extra mile to validate the children's visions with the Bible's records of heaven/hell. This book means a lot especially where the Christian faith of the afterlife and God's existence are concerned.

This review got me captivated and I look forward to reading this book. I'm happy that the parents didn't wave away the visions of their little girls as mere fantasies and didn't edit it at all. And yes, anything that doesn't align with what is written in the Bible is not to be received with both hands, so its good to know that the visions of girls align with the scriptures.
Congratulations on BOTD.

Your insightful review beautifully captures the profound connection between Priyanka and Deepika's heavenly dreams and biblical teachings. Your appreciation for the authors' meticulous approach in presenting unfiltered accounts adds authenticity to the narrative. Your commendation of their harmonization with Bible verses and the book's relevance is truly commendable. Your attention to detail, from the absence of dislikes to the minimal typos, reflects the quality of this publication. A well-deserved four-star rating!

Interesting! Children who went to heaven. I see heaven as too serious a place to be seen as where children should go in their dreams. Now, I'm not disputing these children's experiences. All I'm saying is that I need more convincing. So maybe when I read this book, I might be persuaded to believe their story.

It's great review I like the way the author puts the children's words directly and how he compares or interprets using the bible verses to relate with the events in the dreams.

The mind is a universe and can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

I have reviewed this book and given it a five star rating. The language of the book I simple thus can be read by everyone. However, since I am a Hindu, I will pass the opportunity to read it once more. The book, nonetheless, is a good read for Christians.

Latest Review: The Vine by Adria L. Dunn

Post by Dan Polumbric »

This book was written by two devout Christian parents following unusual experiences of their daughters. The authors use the Bible and its accounts of people visitning heaven to certify their daughters' vision is authentic. As a person of faith, it is uplifting to see their quotes of John of Patmos and Paul among others visiting heaven and a reminder of interaction of faith and the afterlife. While the book is in the non-fiction category, it remains in 'believe-it or not' type of accounts still seems like a thought-provoking read anyway.

I am usually more eager and curious to know how heaven looks like and how things are conducted there. I definitely will read Snatched Up to Heaven to find out more.
