Publisher's summary

At age 19, pilot Dale Black miraculously survived an airplane crash that killed the other two pilots on board. Hovering between life and death for three days, he had a breathtaking experience of heaven. Against all odds and with insurmountable injuries, Capt. Black recovered from his injuries and returned to fly airplanes as a professional pilot, airline pilot instructor, and jet flight examiner. For 40 years he kept the story to himself at the urging of his grandfather to "live" his experience rather than talk about it.

The flight to heaven changed Dale's life, and now he allows it to be told in hopes of encouraging others with this wondrous experience.

The only survivor of a horrific plane crash, Dale was hovering between life and death when he had a wondrous experience of heaven. What he saw, what he heard, and what he learned there continues to ripple through his life and touch others.

Good book

This was very enjoyable and short.I am tempted to give it a five star review on all counts, but I try to save 5 star reviews for literary classics. He is a very good reader, unusual for the author to be a good reader... Worth your time!

Good story but...

Mr. Black's recovery was a miraculous recovery. God's hand was clearly at work. However, I didn't give it 5 stars because I was hoping to hear more details of Heaven, more of Jesus, who he saw, etc.

A must read for all religions

A very good and well written story line. As a Christian we have our own vision of Heaven. Mr. Black gives us a beautiful glimps of the after life and Heaven. I did enjoy hearing the author reading the book. I have been telling everyone that I care about to read or listen to the book.

Awesome Awesome Awesome

I am an NDE aficionado so when I say this book is fantastic I am comparing it to many others. As I listened I felt like I was living his story! I rank it as high as Mary C. Neal’s book. Dale’s reading even made it more believable and powerful!!

Very inspirational, emotional and humbling

I must be honest .. I was looking for a book about heaven, but what I found in this book is so much more. Yes, he talks about heaven almost in the middle of the book. but thats a very small part of the story. The fact that God used the crash to change his and many more lives is the real story. Dale Black inspired me to have the conversation with others about the state of their souls. I loved this book and having the author read the book was perfect. The emotion in his voice were so real. You will not be dissapointed with this book.
