"90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper and Cecil Murphey

The question as to what happens after death is one which bugs us all from time to time and only a select few have ever had the opportunity to witness what was on the other side… and come back to tell us. One of these people is a Baptist minister by the name of Don Piper who had the misfortune of colliding with a semi-truck which crossed into his lane.

At the scene, Piper was pronounced dead. However, it seems as if fate had other plans in store for him as Piper spent the next 90 minutes walking on the thin line between life and death.

During that time, Piper claims to have met a number of people who have spiritually influence him, not to mention that he remembers hearing some beautiful music playing… but most importantly, he felt truly at piece.

Even though he was pronounced dead, Piper rose back to life in something which is probably dubbed as a miracle and until now, he chose not to share his experience as to what happens after life in a book titled 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life. As you can imagine, this book is dedicated to describing the whole experience, not to mention what he went through during the long and painful recovery that followed.

“The Girl on the Stairs” by Barry Ernest – The Small Thorn you Can’t Ignore

Girl on the Stairs , by Barry Ernest and with a foreword written by David Lifton, is an exploration of one specific aspect of the JFK assassination. More precisely, it looks into what a little girl by the name of Victoria Adams saw on that day while standing in the staircase of the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald was supposedly making his escape.  Actually, it is more about what she didn’t see than what she did see. Victoria was on the staircase Oswald supposedly used, at the exact same time he supposedly used it. If he were to be there, even the little girl she was, Victoria would have noticed a nervous man quickly running down the stairs. However, she says that on that day, she was alone there, with nobody to be found, especially Oswald.
