Resumen del Editor

The remarkable story of a woman, plagued with guilt and skepticism, dramatically changed by the nine minutes she spent in heaven.

God let me see me through His eyes. And in that instant I knew that God had always loved me, through all of those dark and difficult years when I doubted His existence, through every crisis and every heartbreak that made me turn away from Him more. I knew, in that instant, that His love was endless and boundless, and that if He loved me so much, how could I not love myself?

For most of her life, Crystal McVea was a skeptic whose history of abuse and bad choices made her feel beyond the reach of God - who questioned if God was even real. She had all but given up hope. Then came December 10, 2009...and the moment that changed everything.

For nine minutes that night, Crystal went into full respiratory arrest. She was unconscious and unable to breathe on her own, unaware of the crisis happening around her as the hospital staff rushed to save her life. Crystal doesn't remember the trauma or losing consciousness; she just remembers waking up in heaven, next to God.

Waking Up in Heaven invites listeners to witness the relentless pursuit of God in a life that was broken and seemingly beyond hope, an awe-inspiring account of love, forgiveness, and redemption, and the healing power of God's presence.

Heart wrenching and hopefully

This is one of the most amazing stories of God's richness and refusal to give up one of His own. It proves that God is for real and that there is a heaven. What an awesome testimony of faith and hope to the lost and lonely and the power of God's forgiveness and love. We listened to the audible version on a recent trip and were spellbound with the story of this amazing child of God. A must read for anyone and everyone!

The Love for God

Awesome

I couldn’t put this book down. Just loved to listen to her heartbreaking story and how Gods love transformed her life!

Loved the story!!!

if you want a story about healing and a relationship with God, then this is a great pick for you!.

loved it!

I listened to this on my drive home from camping. I found out about this book after watching Crystal's interview with Randy Kay on YouTube. He interviews individuals with credible, Christian NDE's. I love hearing people's testimonies. Parts of this one wrecked me. I cried a lot and laughed out loud in parts. My biggest take away is how I will treat my daughter as she grows up. These little people are so easily influenced and molded by any little thing. I want to be more gentle and attentive as a mother because of this story. Thank you Crystal for being so brave in sharing your life.

Wonderful story

Must read / hear. If you have question, wonder or felt like you are not worthy - this is a book for you... If you ever had "feelings" or "nudges" about something - this is a book for you. I've had nudges / feelings before... Whenever I haven't not listened, it always bit me in the butt. The Author does a wonderful job of telling her story.
This book is for all - however, people who don't want to listen or believe will probably will not enjoy it as much as people who are seeking with an open mind and heart will. We all get to choose.

awesome book

my mom always asked about heaven this book answered some of her questions. we all enjoyed exploring this book
