Chapters 16-End

Throuhgout these final chapters Don now begins to understand why he was brought back on this earth and what his purpose is. He now goes and talks to people who have had the fixator put on thier body, becaue he knows what it's like and can understand what their going through. He helps the people understand that they will get through what they are going through and that they will be able to walk again. This book was amazing and helps me to realize that life can be taken just like that, and that each day is a gift and should be treated like one.

Chapter 13-16

Throughout these chapters Don has overcome many things. When he was first in the accident, another guy named Dick was there to pray for him and to hold his hand. Now Don finds out that Dick could never reach his hand, because it was clear at the front and Dick could not have reached it unless he had somehow gotten into the mangled car. Dick had previously died from a heart attack so his wife is telling Don this after the fact. She says that Dick was behind the car and had his hand on Don's shoulder, so Don begins to questions her thinking and has no idea what to think. They both decide that the one holding his hand was in fact God, and this made Don feel so much better in that his friend and God was with him on that very day. Don continues to tell his story and has changed many people's lives because of it, so he finally learns of his true reason why God has put him back on the Earth. Throughout his recovery Don's three children had to live with other people becuase there was so much going on for them to care for thier own children. The boy twins went to live with thier grandparents, and their daughter went to live with soem family friends. Don has a recollection of when his father came to visit him, while in the beginning, and his father said that if he could he would gladly take his place for him.

Chapter 10-13

In these chapters a lot has happened to Don. He is still asking God why he was brought back to Earth and what this will mean to him, and why he couldn't just stay with Him. Don is still having battles with depression and has still not overcome it, Don still is not talking about his experience with Heaven, until he finally tells the man who prayed for him when there was no hope for him. Don tells him all about Heaven and his wonderful experience, and then he tells him that he needs to tell other people about it so they can believe and do good in their live, Don doesn't want to tell the world, because he thinks no one will believe him, so he starts out small and tells a few people, they want more information, so Don finally sees it as a good thing to tell people. Before the accident Don had recored spiritual music on cassette tapes to listen to, so his wife brings them up to him, Don starts listening to them and really takes in the words, he suddenly starts crying and realizes that he has finally broken his depression. Don then decides to go to the church where he used to be a pastor at, after some struggle he speaks to his people of the church and the ones that have all prayed for his long journey, he stands up and they all begin to cheer, he states that because of thier prayers, he is where he is now. When he gave up, they prayed for him, and kept him alive, and for that he is truly grateful. Don has also changed the way some people think about live and how they think anout God, without God we wouldn't be in the place we are now.

Chapters 6-10

Still reading the same book 90 Minutes in Heaven. These chapters talked about the struggles that Don has had to face, he had to have a brace put in his leg to help it grow, and other rods in his arms to support them. Also, Don just felt like dying he didn't have any ambition to live any longer, he kept asking God to take hime back home wiht him, but God's only answer was no. Don has had severe battles wiht depression and has no willing to live. Also, whenever he has guests that come to see him he never wants them to stay and stare at him or take pity on him, so he talks for a while then they leave, until recently when another fellow coworker comes to him and says that he needs to straighten his act up, meaning when someone comes in and they ask him if he needs anything then he needs to say that he does so that they feel like they have helped him in some way. Although this book is not over it has made me realize how much I should be grateful for and for how much that I have is all that I need in life.

90 Minutes in Heaven

I started reading 90 Minutes in Heaven just last night and I read all the way to chapter 6 from pages 13-55, it is an inspirational book and I didn't want to put it down. The book starts out about a guy named Don Piper who is a minister and he was on his way out of town to a conference regarding ministry work. After the conference ended early he was headed home, he had two choices of ways to go home, both taking the same amount of time; he chose the path that he hardly takes, one that leads him over a large hill and across a bridge. It had previously rained and was a bit cloudy so he took it slow, he then came upon a semi who had crossed the center line striking Don's car. The semi crushed the car that was driven by an inmate who had volunteered to drive it for the prison, the inmate had two guards following close by. The car driven by Don was completely smashed and he was trapped, as soon as the guards saw what had happened they called for an ambulance to come, when the ambulance came they knew right away that Don was dead, after confirming it they went to help out the other people. The other people refused to go to the hospital so it was then time to try to help out Don, after placing a tarp over his body they went to try to get things cleared off the road to allow traffic to flow again, as it had begun backing up because of the accident. The people that were backed up in the accident just so happened to be two people that had attended the same conference with Don, after waiting patiently they decided to walk up the hill to see what had happened the guy who was a minister said that he could help if they needed him, and that he wanted to pray for the soul that was lost, the ambulance workers said there was no hope for the guy but he still wanted to pray for him. After getting into the car that was badly mangled he began to pray, he said that something pushed him to do it, he then began to sing to Don's helpless body, when he began to sing back he got out of the car so fast and told the EMT's, they were just as shocked, and called on the radio for the jaws of live to get there ASAP. While all this was happening they had called Don's wife and told her what had happened so she rushed to the hospital. Since Don's body was tangled in the car so badly it took a while to get him out, his left leg was shattered in two places and his left arm was dislocated and was over his head in an akward position, he was in bad shape. After getting him out of the car they took him to the hospital the EMT's didn't think he would even make the trip, but he did, once in the hospital they wanted to transport him to another hospital that was better specilized with caring for a patient with his intense injury, but because of the weather they couldn't use the helicopter so they had to drive the long distance to the hospital. Once he got there he saw his wife and he knew that by the look on her face how bad off he was. After being pronounced dead for 90 minutes he was sure that it would only be a matter of time before he was gone for good. All along this way in the book he is talking about his time up in heaven for those crucial 90 minutes, he says that it was very bright light all around him, and there was people that greeted him that he recognized from his time on earth, people that influenced him, his grandfather, a best friend from childhood and other people that he knew. Don said his experience in heaven was anyting beyond words and he tried to explain it as the most wonderful feeling he had ever felt. After reading the first 5 chapters I didn't want to put the book down, it is a pretty amazing book and it makes you realize what you have in life, and that it can be taken so quickly. Hope you enjoyed the beginning of the book as much as I did!!
