I’m saying Heaven is real, and Jesus is the way to Heaven, and we want them there. At the very end of the movie, I make an appearance in it essentially giving the audience an invitation (to accept Christ).
90 MINUTES IN HEAVEN MOVIE
But you can’t watch this movie without being convicted, and it was made that way. It’s entertainment from their perspective. We’re not told those things, so it has affected a new group of people in a sense that a lot of people that were exposed to it, because it’s a movie. Of course, we didn’t even know it was going to be on. We get calls in the office, or we’ll get a raft of emails, and it will say I loved your movie last night.
It was in the theater, so you had to pay to go see it, but now it’s on television. In some ways, yes, because obviously it can still be seen. Did the movie version of your book take the message of 90 Minutes in Heaven to an entirely new audience? In 2015, a theatrical version of your bestselling book was released to general audiences. So we have to be ready for this all the time. When I got killed in a car wreck, I wasn’t planning to die that day. We know there must be, and there is a better place prepared for people who are prepared for it. I think God has a better place for us, and I know we feel it in our bones. Could this be all? I mean would we go through all of this for nothing? I think the answer is no, we wouldn’t. We’re fascinated with the reality that “Is this all there is, this life?” The Bible calls it “a vapor,” a twinkle in the eye of God. But most humans don’t agree with that, even people who maybe don’t have an organized religion going back to early civilization. Now there’s some that have concluded that nothing happens next. God created the Heavens and the Earth in the beginning, so we want to know what happens next. Even when there was the garden, there was Heaven. Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. We know that we don’t get to say, and so the human question since the first human was, “What happens next?” Since Adam and Even were thrown out of the garden and/or died, they wanted to know what happens next. Why do you think people are so fascinated with the afterlife? I recently sat down with Piper to discuss why he chose to share such intimate details of his post-death experience, why people are so fascinated with the afterlife, and how a book like this provides such a great amount of hope. His goal is to encourage others to live a life of promise here on earth. In his latest book, People I Met at the Gates of Heaven: Who is Going to Be There Because of You, Piper continues his exploration of the afterlife by revealing the intimate details of people who met him at the gates of Heaven.
Starring Hayden Christianson and Kate Bosworth, the movie went on to earn $5 million dollars at the box office. Piper’s astonishing story of death and miraculous return to life was eventually chronicled in a major motion picture of the same name in 2015. In the interim, Piper says he spent that time at the gates of Heaven. But even more remarkable is that he was legally dead for 90 minutes before he began breathing again. His story is a miraculous one, a tale of his astonishing recovery from a myriad of life-threatening injuries suffered in a horrific car accident. In 14 years of general release, author Don Piper’s autobiographical book 90 Minutes in Heavenhas sold more than eight million copies.
