The story..... Pastor Don Piper died January 18, 1989 when a semi-tractor truck crushed his car. Declared dead by the first rescue workers to arrive on the scene, Don's body lay under a tarp for the next 90 minutes. Don's soul, meanwhile, was experiencing love, joy, and life like he'd never known before. Don was in Heaven.
When another pastor's prayers helped bring Don back to life, he became a living miracle! Yet this is one miracle Don wished never happened. Heaven's bliss was replaced by excruciating pain and emotional turmoil. With the support and prayers of his beloved Eva, their three kids, and friends near and far, Don clings to his faith in God and fights to regain a semblance of his previous life. The Piper family's incredible true story of perseverance and overcoming the challenges of life - and death - will bring hope and encouragement to all who see it.
Now a feature length film has been made telling Pastor Don Piper's story of his death by vehicular accident and how 90 minutes later he was declared alive again. The film shows his recovery and how prayer worked in his life to bring about his recovery. Watch trailer here...
I viewed the opening scene (4 minutes) which depicts a family scene of a loving, normal family eating breakfast. Dad leaves, and while driving in a rain storm has an accident. The family is Southern and speaks with a heavy Southern accent which is a detraction to me and I'm a Southern Lady. However, the value and story of the film far outweighs this small detraction.
