I've Been to Heaven: The True Story of a Husband's Supernatural Near-Death Experience of the Afterlife, His Wife's Prayer That Brought Him Back, and God's Message of Hope for the World

by Steve Boyls, Troy Anderson, Kathy Boyls, MD

A powerful reminder that God still answers prayer--and miracles still happen

· Reliable firsthand account of one man's near-death experience and what he saw in heaven
· Incredible testimony of his wife's fight on earth to save his life

Admitted to the ICU with COVID-19, Steve Boyls spent forty-five days on a ventilator and three and a half months in the hospital. As his body struggled to stay alive, his wife, Dr. Kathy Boyls, fought bureaucracy, medical protocols, and demonic attacks and, through warfare, supported by friends and family, received a miracle.

But as the battle raged on earth, Steve was ushered into Heaven, where he witnessed unspeakable beauty, unimaginable joy, and overwhelming hope. From watching a ball game with the son he lost through miscarriage to seeing old friends, family, and pets to an incredible encounter with Jesus and his warhorses, Steve's adventures in Heaven are some of the most detailed and uplifting stories brought back from beyond the veil.

Engaging and masterfully told with the help of Pulitzer Prize nominee Troy Anderson, the Boylses' story is an incredible reminder that even with eternity before us, this life we live now is worth the fight. Miracles do happen, God still answers the prayer of faith--and He's coming back very soon.

Read about half the book and couldn’t keep going. His experience of Heaven was fascinating, but there was too much context and medical jargon from his wife’s (a doctor’s) perspective. By the time his experience was over there wasn’t anything to keep interest and keep reading, unfortunately. You can tell these aren’t writers by trade and it’s a bit dry 😬
