The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven by Kevin MalarkeyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
MOM'S REVIEW:
A true story about a father and son who survived a terrible car accident, although son Alex remained in a coma for two months afterward. Upon awaking, Alex shared some unexpected experiences of time spent with Jesus in Heaven. He also shared some personal insight on angels and their ministry.
Kevin and Alex share their faith journey; a journey that will stir in you a longing for your future home in heaven. This is a wonderful book making me wish that I could meet this family.
BOOK OVERVIEW:
In 2004, Kevin Malarkey and his six-year-old son, Alex, suffered an horrific car accident. The impact from the crash paralyzed Alex—and medically speaking, it was unlikely that he could survive. “I think Alex has gone to be with Jesus,” a friend told the stricken dad. But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the angels that took him through the gates of heaven itself. Of the unearthly music that sounded just terrible to a six-year-old. And, most amazing of all . . . Of meeting and talking to Jesus. The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is the true story of an ordinary boy’s most extraordinary journey. As you see heaven and earth through Alex’s eyes, you’ll come away with new insights on miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of a father’s love.
It sounds like an interesting story, but I have to say, I'm skeptical about the validity of this kid's claim that he actually went to heaven. I'm not saying what he experienced wasn't real to him, but the fact that he didn't like the music in heaven seems highly suspicious. Heaven is perfect, so it doesn't seem likely that anyone will dislike anything about heaven. I'd regard a book like this with caution.
