In 1989, Pastor Don Piper was on his way to church when an 18-wheeler crossed the center line in the road and slammed directly into Piper’s vehicle. Piper was declared dead for a full 90 minutes before coming back to life as his pastor sang “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” over him.
During that hour and a half, Piper went to heaven, a story he tells in his best-selling book “90 Minutes in Heaven.”
He described the majesty of the pearly gates of Heaven, and said, “I was surrounded by people I’d known and loved in life who had preceded me in death. And they all looked good!”
