Revised Edition: The True Story of a Young Boy's Miraculous Return from Death
Be honest - are you afraid to die? Most people are....Christians included. If that's you, read the astonishing true story of a young boy's deadly head-crushing injury and his three visits to Heaven....and your fears may vanish forever.
Run over by a car at age five, Billy Anderson died three times prior to emergency surgery. Left in a vegetative coma after large portions of his damaged brain were removed, doctors gave him no hope to survive. But God had other plans - completely healing Billy only SIX days after his skull-shattering accident.
Yet beyond the undeniably miraculous healing, little Billy was given a glimpse of heaven. Returning home just 13 days after his brush with death, Billy stunned his parents by telling them of his visits to heaven.... ''The doctors fixed my head, but God made me well. I saw God...and Jesus is coming.''
Now, through Billy's extraordinary journey, we have the blessed opportunity to learn what it's like to leave your body at death, to experience the majesty of Heaven and the electrifying presence of Jesus.
As told by Bill's brother Jim, I Saw God will take you on an unforgettable reading adventure - a comforting and inspiring revelation of God's mercy and grace... a story that will prepare you for eternity... a story that begs to be told.

WONDERFUL book! When we as humans think that there is no hope, God reminds us that He is in control.
Having grown up in the same town - and played on the same street, made this book so special!
Looking forward to upcoming books by Mr. Anderson!

Your story confirms my belief.
I just lost my husband about 6months ago to ALS. I know without a doubt that he is in heaven with Jesus and his family. I also lost my 4 year old great nephew to Leukemia on April 20th of this , after fighting this disease for 2 years. I am confident that he also is enjoying being with Jesus, my husband and our family members who have gone before us. I am Catholic and I also gave been consecrated to Marry whom I believe plays a big role in taking care of our loved ones in heaven. May God bless you and comfort you each day.

A true story worth telling and reading
This is one of my favorite books about life after death. I give it 5 stars because it is well written, with the complete story of the death, return, and acceptance of the total experience years afterward. The author does an excellent job of reporting the entire story as the older brother. His writing and the order of the telling of the story is excellent and readers will not be disappointrd.

A true blessing
This book was written well with good grammar. The story told us quite compelling and faith building. It also has a simple presentation for how to receive Jesus into your heart and life.

Book review
I found the book to be very inspiring and uplifting. I've learned once again that we need not fear death and that God is an amazing God who loves us more than we can imagine. Also I think we can't even fathom how beautiful heaven is going to be!!!
