Three Days in Heaven

By: Mark Anthony Waters

Narrated by: Michael Goodrick

After a heart attack, lawyer Tony Stanford finds himself not in this world, but on a heavenly golf course.

Not ready to believe he is dead, his wife, best friends, and the doctors work against time to prove to the hospital board he's not really gone.

Even with its religious themes, Three Days in Heaven is a story a person of any faith can enjoy. Open-heart surgery, dying, and meeting up with God all seem like serious topics, but the audiobook deals with them in a lighthearted and believable way.

Interesting Story

Very interesting story told from the perspective of a man who dies and spends time in heaven playing golf. Great message to remind us to focus on what matters.

An unfortunate missed opportunity.

Understanding fully that this is "Christian fiction", this book is a missed opportunity. The story line is cliche and uninspired. Along the same genre as The Shack, it tries to present an accessible vision of God and heaven, (although in a highly unbiblical scenario), and meant to appeal to the everyman.

Amazingly, the character of God comes across as flippant and shallow. Jesus hardly makes an appearance. There are major deviations in theology from the Bible, even with the sanctity of scripture. Making it worse, the narration is choppy, robotic, and hard to listen to.

For Christians, this book is a cheap and gratuitious embarrassment. For non-believers this book is a very poor depiction of who God is and what a personal relationship with Him is really like. At least The Shack book had some depth of human emotion and insights into God's love. This doesn't.
