Video of the Day: Don Piper: 90 Minutes in Heaven - submitted by Laura
About today's video: Don Piper (born 1950) is a Baptist minister who wrote "90 Minutes in Heaven," a book describing his near-death experience.
On January 18, 1989, Piper was driving on an old bridge, and before he cleared that bridge, a tractor-trailer crossed into his lane and hit his small Ford Escort head on. Paramedics on the scene pronounced him clinically dead after the impact. Piper claims to have gone to heaven, where he was reunited with loved ones, but did not claim to have met Jesus Christ there. An hour and a half after the accident, another Baptist minister came to the scene as he was reportedly prompted by God to pray for Piper. Don came back to life, and he faced a long, grueling recovery.
Piper wrote the book in collaboration with Cecil Murphey. It is narrated in first-person from Piper's point-of-view. The book contains two chapters detailing his experience in heaven. The remaining chapters deal with Piper's recovery—an ordeal that included 34 separate surgeries.
In addition to his work as an author, he has been a public speaker, actor, syndicated columnist, CBS and CBN Television Network Executive, Youth Minister, Education Minister, Senior Adult Minister, Baptist Student Ministry Director, Pastor, Single Adult Pastor, and Minister of Education, Don Piper is now often introduced as "The Minister of Hope."
