I am very grateful to have to chance to listen to the audio book of "Proof of Heaven" recently and I have to listen several chapters 5 times to fully admire the truth and beauty of the information it conveys. It is different from other description of near death experience because it not only records the personal experience but objectively states author's physical condition, surroundings, family reactions as well. It is such a powerful scientific testimony of Divine presence over and in the universe.
There is another book called "90 Minutes In Heaven" published in 2004 and it describes a pastor's true story in heaven and in which he commented : " I absolutely believe the reality of heaven, never doubt because I haven been to heaven and come back. Until some mere mortal is dead for a lengthy period and subsequently returns to life with irrefutable evidence of an afterlife, near-death experiences will continue to be a matter of faith." I believe "Proof of Heaven" is God's answer to his statement.
There are so many verses of the author's own reflections and citations from different wise persons that echo my own meditations. I cannot describe how deeply I have been comforted and reaffirmed by this book. I will copy some verses from the book as below for your own reference and sincerely wish you to be also benefited from this true story as I am.

We must believe in free will and there is no other choice.
We are free; but we are free beings hemmed all around by an environment conspiring to make us feel that we are not free. Free will is of central importance for our function in the earthly realm: a function that, we will all one day discover, serves the much higher role of allowing our ascendance in the timeless alternate dimension. Our life down here may seem insignificant, for it is minute in relation to the other lives and other worlds that also ...for our role here is to grow toward the Divine, and that growth is closely watched by the beings in the worlds above.
Our truest, deepest self is completely free. It is not crippled or compromised by past actions or concerned with identity or status. It comprehends that it has no need to fear the earthly world, and therefore, it has no need to build itself up through fame or wealth or conquest. This is the true spiritual self that all of us are destined to recover.
