I think this is the 3rd book I've read about a near death experience. This young boy didn't technically die, but I'm sure it's close enough for the experience. Each story I've read was slightly different but similar in discussing the hardship of what brought them to the experience and in the adamant belief that what was experienced during a sort of detachment from their bodies was real. I'm sure the validation of one's beliefs is very rewarding, if hard won.

By Far awesome book. It had me crying with the family as well as rejoicing with them. You must read this book

The beginning dragged a bit - I kept wanting to read about the kid's experience, and it took a while to get to that, but once I got there, I couldn't stop reading. He tells his parents different parts of his experience over time, and what he shares is no less than amazing. I pretty much read this whole thing in one sitting. I would have given it 4.5 stars, but I don't see a way to do that.
