I read this book for the first time more than 7 years ago, and loss count of how many times I read it again. It is an enlightening, inspiring, uplifting story that happened to a quite ordinary man and that will make you eager to read more of this subject. It was my first NDE book reading and I am bordering 20 now. I can't begin to describe the emotions it provoked in me and the learning and inspiration to live a good life and love my fellow men.
I strongly advise the reader to pray in order to develop the spiritual gift of discernment so that you can know for yourself whether these accounts are true (there are false stories out there) and also how you should position them in the whole scheme of spiritual learning. You will need humility, openess, love for the truth and trust in God.

It is very comforting to know that so many people have had similar experiences with the next life. I really enjoyed all the details that Lawrence shares as they bring comfort to the soul for anyone who has ever lost a loved one. I also found it quite interesting how he mentions the importance of family ties and researching family history. I do technical support for Family History centers throughout the world and it never ceases to amaze me how many little miracles happen every day in getting family history work done. I really believe those that do their genealogy are being assisted by those on the other side...

As a Mormon, I was inspired by this man's experiences. They follow our beliefs and provide clear descriptions of what happened when Mr. Tooley crossed the veil into the Spirit World. I highly recommend this book for all those with an honest curiosity. I have given several to people who asked what I believe about life after death.

This story is just what it says. It's remarkable and I enjoyed reading it and found a lot of it inspiring. The thing I really have a problem with is the LDS emphasis. Now, personally, and I don't want to turn my review into a religious debate, but I'm not Mormon nor do I agree whatsoever with Mormon philosophy or belief systems. My problem isn't a biased against Mormons problem. I think anytime a denomination of faith is brought in to bolster up the belief in the story, it immediately loses its credibility for me. If the LDS'ism's had been left out and the story simply told for the experiences it was, I would have raved about it without feeling a subtle attempt at my conversion.

I liked this book but some of it is written using LDS terminology. This is how the author would explain what he saw because it is how he understood it. The book was written by someone who obviously wasn't a writer, which made it more believable. I liked it.

This book was one of the most interesting descriptions of a near death experience I've ever read. It was not only interesting but inspired me to take another look at how I live my life.

I Saw Heaven is a beautiful story of a man unexpectedly taken to the life after mortality. I am amazed as I review the narrow minded thinking of supposed Christians, who seem to criticize anything that challenges their narrow beliefs, as if their beliefs was the only truth. Lawrence Tooley who had the experience was not an active member of his church. He isn't a minister. He was a common guy who had a serious accident that took him unexpectedly to the world of spirits. His testimony, when reviewed with the spirit of true faith and prayer, lifts, edifies and inspires those whose worldly cares get them down. There is so much more to this life and the next. Christ is at the head...he is in control...of our lives and this world. No matter how bad it gets in this life, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will comfort, lift and clear our vision to a greater happiness. Critics come and go, but Jesus said, "Love one another, as I have loved you." I'm thankful for this testimony and look forward to the love and peace of the next life.

I read the book, my time in heaven, which highlights that it is important to accept Jesus as your lord and savior. I thought about reading this, I saw heaven, but don't agree with the Mormon viewpoint that Jesus wasnt god reincarnated). God sent Jesus so that we may know god personally. On that note, if you are looking for a life changing book, read my time in heaven.

Excellent writing. This book was easy to read. I didn't want to put it down. I felt what the writer was trying to convey. It made excited about being able to go to heaven.

I couldn't put this book down..very interesting..I wanted to know about what it looked like on the other side and the author does give some details...it coincides with another book I read so I believe what it looks like on the other side...people should not be scared or afraid to die.
