From the Back Cover

Some say they saw heaven. Others say they saw hell. Here are profound and detailed stories of men and women whose lives were forever changed by their journey to the other side of the grave and back. While many books on near-death experiences and heaven have swept the best-seller lists, few offer a solid biblical approach to death and the afterlife. To Heaven and Back tells the stories both of believing Christians whose near-death experiences deepened their faith, and of non-Christians who were converted through such an experience. Rita Bennett recounts the powerful stories these men and women have to tell -- and speaks comforting words to all who want to know what happens after we cross the final frontier of death. In addition to these personal accounts, Bennett probes the Scriptures and gives an intriguing biblical view of heaven and the afterlife. To Heaven and Back will comfort, inspire, and fill you with anticipation of the good things God has planned for you and for those you love -- now and throughout eternity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, May 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: To Heaven and Back (Paperback)

This book was wonderful. I have read many books on near death experiences (NDE's) and Mrs. Bennett's book is unique in that the all experiences are understood from the Christian perspective. Many, if not most, NDE books are not Christian and can lead someone down a dangerous path. Mrs. Bennett relays the experiences of several people of actually died, left their body and went to heaven. I highly recommend this book, especially for those who have lost loved ones and you know they are in heaven.

This book is wonderful. As a christian myself, this book was definately an answer to prayer! It goes in depth through scripture focusing on revelation and all the other verses that touch on our future with the Lord in heaven. The NDE's bring you a sense of calm and more excitement for what life is after this one. Definately would recommend!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Very Many Stories, October 13, 2000

This review is from: To Heaven and Back (Paperback)

The title, "To Heaven & Back," subtitled "True Stories of Those Who Have Made the Journey" is misleading because this book has few stories and more of the author's opinion using the bible as her reference. If you are interested in reading NDE stories, then I would not recommend this book. However, if you are brand new to religion, this book will get you on a good start along with reading the bible. But don't take my word for it, there are other books and other religions out there so do your homework. And good luck on your journey.
