What if your deepest childhood prayer was answered forty years later in the most extraordinary way imaginable?
Mike McKinsey was a typical construction superintendent—until a ruptured appendix brought him to death’s door during his son’s wedding weekend. As he flatlined on the operating table, Jesus appeared and took him by the hand to Heaven, where he witnessed the breathtaking glory of God in vivid, indescribable detail.
But this was only the beginning. The next day, as Mike battled pneumonia, Jesus returned—speaking audibly for three hours, giving him a specific mission and preparing him for the spiritual battles ahead.
In this riveting memoir, Mike shares his transformative near-death experience and the profound ways it changed everything: his prayer life, his relationships, and his calling to share this message of hope with millions. From miraculous healings to spiritual warfare, this is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the reality of Heaven.
Prepare to see eternity through new eyes.
