Woh. If there is a book that I would recommend you pick up this year, it is this one.
In 2 Corinthians 12:2, Paul describes how he visited the Third Heaven. It would seem that if there is a third heaven, there must be a first and second. John takes us through the different “heavens” described in the Bible and what he believes it is talking about. He uses a lot of Bible verses to back up his beliefs and makes some really solid points.
He also goes in depth about how our battle is not against flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12). He shows a lot of verses to back up what a demon is and what it can do. How real the battle is for our souls. He has a number of stories that he has personally dealt with involving spiritual warfare.
Now, let me say that I don’t necessarily agree with every single thing that John puts forth in this book, but the basic truths are VERY real. I absolutely believe that it is so easy to open a door to the evil in this world without even knowing it. It is a difficult subject, but very encouraging to see how amazing it is to serve a God that we know will win this battle. It is amazing to really dig into what Heaven is and what things can be expected. I love that there is no fear in death!!
So, please pick up a copy of this book! You will definitely want to read it. It’s a game changer!!
Thank you, Worthy, for this incredible book! As always, this is my honest opinion. Here’s to many more!!

Insightful and eye opener book. Based on the scripture not just the Pastors personal opinions. As most of us agree we are more than physical beings,it bears the question where do our soul goes after our physical time on earth expires? One of The heavens, different realms designated to our afterlife, but which one? Well that depends on our accounts in life while we have it. Only fair! The book can be viewed as a promise, it includes testimonials of people from young kids to adults that have experienced this undeniable truth of the afterlife and have come back to tell us all about it!
Great read! 🤍

July 7, 2021Again, how can I be sooo old (66), a devout Christian all my life, and never have been told any of this? I am stunned. Help me Lord to keep studying and learning through your word.

Favorite part of this book is hearing how John Hagee's Uncle Tink survived a heart attack by playing recordings of scripture dedicated to healing. He suffered a heart attack early in life, then had the forethought to plan for the next cardiac arrest by recording himself reading Bible text about healing. Gave his wife instructions to play the recordings on a loop, so that during his next heart attack when doctors wanted to give up and pull the plug, she insisted the headphones stay on and don't touch that plug. Brilliant! Since the subliminal, self-help tapes of the 1980s helped me pass high school chemistry with an A, I've come to know it really works. Even today I have clearings and inspirational classes playing all over my house at a low level. What I'm now realizing, is that this technique can be done with the Bible.
Unfortunately, that's where my love of this book ends and I begin disagreeing with its delivery.
I found the specific recounts of demonic possession somewhat useful, but wish the book would dig deeper, explore more, and ponder the real truths. Mostly, this book lightly scratches the surface of an endemic issue. It falls back on the stereotypical Christian huff & puff of quoting scripture, labeling & judging, while offering almost nothing in the way of effectual forward movement. I enjoy books written by therapists, pastors, and experienced experts on this topic who have a little more self-effacing approach. I enjoy the "we're in this together" attitude, but did not recognize it here.
The text is very clear: Islam is influenced by the devil. The singularity diminished my ability to see this book as a serious contender in its area of claimed expertise. There are inordinate amounts of testimony coming from all over detailing where and how and when satanic organizations function today. Islamic radicalism appears to be the least of it within our country.
Anyone reading this book in order to further their Christian course, may not be disappointed. However, if you're picking up this book to gain more knowledge about demonic possession, solutions that include angelic support, or to fill in a more holistic approach of this issue, you may feel the need to keep looking.

I received a paperback copy from Worthy Publishing for my honest review of this book.
This is my second book by John Hagee and he had be from start to the end. I never truly understood that there was three heavens but after reading this book I have such a better understanding. John Hagee breaks down each of the heavens in this book and he spends most of his time in the second heaven which is where Satan is walking with his evil helpers. John Hagee shares personal stories of things you only thought happened in the movies and then he retells the horrors that we all have either seen on tv or read in the newspaper. John Hagee has a point to make with the stories he shares because he is showing how much Satan has control on people without their knowledge.
He also talks about angels like: Michael, the Archangel and Gabriel, God's Special Messenger. He also talks about how the angels appeared in the bible at different times.
The last two chapters are about the third heaven - Paradise.
I highly recommend this book and this is a non-fiction Christian book. It is a great read for the new Christian or for someone like me that has been a Christian all their life.

I change my mind, this guy is nuts, some parts of the book are possible but ultimately he provides no evidence for anything in this book particularly his doomsday announcement. I keep everything he said to a possibility but I cannot believe that if you are not a christian you will go to hell or that god, based on real earth situations, will destroy the world. I know that his argument is that could trigger these events without blinking an eye, but really? Read it if you want, but in my opinion he's nuts.

Perfect book for the unsaved.
Read this book and you will want to be written in the book of life. Do you want a mansion or go to hell. The choice is ours. Read this and you can find out how. Hope to see you in heaven. Jesus loves you. Choose Him and your life will never be the same.

John Hagee in his new book, “The Three Heavens” published by Worthy Publishing explores Angels, Demons and What Lies Ahead.
From the back cover: BATTLES ARE RAGING BETWEEN ANGELS AND DEMONS OVER YOU
John Hagee’s breathtaking biblical tour of the three heavens takes you inside the timeless clash between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness and explains why that battle makes all the difference in this world and the world to come.
In The Three Heavens, Hagee uses the Word of God, science, and incredible true stories of the supernatural to explore the First Heaven. He then exposes Satan’s diabolical tactics in the Second Heaven and how they affect each one of us. Finally, he looks at the deep riches of the Third Heaven and how our hope of that eternal home changes our life on earth.
Pastor Hagee divides his new book into three sections: Section One: The First Heaven, Section Two: The Second Heaven and Section Three: The Third Heaven. The Third Heaven is the actual place, the home of God and, for the Born-Again Believer, the final destination. The First Heaven is everything we see: The blue sky, the clouds, the Sun, the Moon, Stars, Planets and Galaxies. The Second Heaven is where the devil gets to roam around and from where he sets up his attacks against us. Pastor Hagee has done us all a wonderful service by bringing this book to our attention. It seems that this topic is not a favorite and not taught at a lot of churches. This lack has left a lot of people ignorant of what is going on around them. Thanks to Pastor Hagee we now have the knowledge that we can use to be prepared and fight back against the attacks against us. Everyone should have a copy of this book and give it as gifts to our friends and family members.

I am a frequent watcher of Pastor Hagee's broadcasts and have read his books. What attracted me to this book was the subject and his superb teaching style. I had a slight understanding about the existence of the three heavens but needed more knowledge. I found what I was seeking in this well-written and solidly constructed book. Pastor Hagee has contributed an important book on the study of heaven. I would place it alongside Randy Alcorn's book, Heaven.
In truth, most believers do not properly grasp the truth that there are three heavens. I will not even go into what non-believers know about heaven because it is little. Knowing the truth about there being three heavens forms a basis of true fundamental belief in Christianity. One can fully understand some of the scriptural teaching of Christ and the promises of God by knowing about the three heavens.
For clarity, Pastor Hagee breaks down the three heavens into the First, Second and Third Heaven per a modern classification and labeling. The First Heaven is the heaven (reality) we see with our natural eyes. the Second Heaven is where Satan has his throne and the fallen angels dwell (unholy dark realm). The Third Heaven is where God has His throne (celestial kingdom) and rules and reigns over the universe. Pastor Hagee goes into great detail with scripture, personal tales, experiences and science to illustrate his point.
It is hard to classify this wonderful book because it is equal parts biblical truth, prophecy and a personal testimony of faith. I enjoyed it and read it to my wife. It is a good book to expand one's knowledge about God's love, divine plan and order.

First of all, I have not read the entire Bible but am interested in doing so. I picked up this book because I had never heard about THREE heavens. As a Catholic I learned about Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. John Hagee's writing style is straight forward and he combines biblical scripture, other references, personal experience and a wonderful ability to explain things so that you are not still trying to understand the concept. I will likely study this book some more before putting away. He also discusses what will happen when we are judged. I'm going to be reading a book on Revelation next and I believe this book will help me understand that section of the bible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who, like me, wants to learn more about the bible. I will also be looking forward to reading other books by John Hagee.

I bought this book on Amazon and never read it. It was on my bookshelf for almost one year.
Yesterday there was a black-out from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm and it was so hot that I had no choice but to sit on my front porch all day to get a wisp of breeze, which came from the sea which is not too far away, now and again.
I took the opportunity to read this book during the black-out..
John Hagee is the author of several New York times bestsellers, and his books are inspiring.
He takes us on a breathtaking biblical tour of the three heavens.
He explains how our hope of an eternal home changes our life on earth.
It is good reading, and i recommend it.

I read the first chapter, then skimmed the second which scared the hell out of me. No pun intended. I spoke with a good friend and Biblical Scholar who recommended I not finish it, as I shouldn't get into things written of that I wasn't ready for. I trust her judgment and her reasoning was sound, so I threw the book away, not wanting someone else to read it if they weren't ready for it either.
October 12, 2015
I don't know how this book could have been any better. I learned so much from John Hagee about what is happening in the world, and the history of Satan's lies. The examples of supernatural evil as well as heavenly miracles were so interesting. I just finished it and now will be passing it along to many. This is a much read in today's world!
Get ready, Jesus is coming!!!

Fascinating, eye opening, beneficial and informative book. I believe the things he says in this book (most of them) that he saw the things he saw. Trust in the spirit to let you know that this book is important for you. We need to know what we're up against, who our enemy is etc. And that's why this book was written. It was hard to make it through simply because the middle section (which is most of the book btw) focuses on demons and the way satan is attacking us. There are some evil things going on. Fortunately I've been sheltered but as hard as it was to hear about it, st least I know and can warn my children.

Thought provoking
We all have heard Bible stories all our life about angels. We have heard the stories about demons being cast out. Sometimes we become numb to the reality that these stories are true. Good and evil, angels and demons still exist. In fact, they surround us each day and impact our lives in ways we may not realize. This book helps bring into reality the unseen battle that rages around us. Understanding this, helps us to better engage in this battle for our loved ones very souls.

I don't believe everything in this book. I know of no Scriptural proof that Satan dwells in the second heaven. As a matter of fact, I don't know of any Scriptural proof for any of his theories about the numbers of heavens. Much of this book is helpful, but it isn't interesting; it isn't compelling; and I was glad to be done with it. When some writers are so prolific, their writing shows the small amount of effort they spend churning it out.

WOW WOW 👌. I thank God for Jesu Christ.
Thank you, Lord, for loving me.
WOW, wow, wow, this is a very deep book.
Well, I am from Africa. This is not a surprise from me, but the movies he mentioned. I remember when I was about to watch one of the movies mentioned in this book, my spirit was not having it at all.
Thank God for this eyes open book 📖 🙏. Now I need to open.
I love the explanation of angels 😇. Now you have opened my mind to more about angels.
Thank you, John Hagee.

This book is awesome. I ordered a paperback version after listening to the audio so I can share it with others. Rev Hagee shares some valuable information and his TV programs are educational. He is truly a servant of God.

Love the message and the stories that accompanied each chapter. To be honest, I was expecting to hear more emphasis on Angels, as I am currently researching them, but that aside I did still enjoy the read.
June 9, 2019
Insightful
Hagee clarifies much about angels, heaven, satan, and his demons.
It's based on Biblical and historical facts. Clearly written, the book is
thought provoking and a useful tool for refocusing our thoughts on
our eternal future.

This an interesting read for those who want to learn more about our forward path following our life on earth. There is much to personally discern. Perhaps I will re-read this book when I have finished others by John Hagee to put together his full view of Revelation.

I made it to chapter five after skipping much of chapter three... as things went there was a couple of times when I thought to throw out the book, until I did. I'd rather not give my reasons this time...

One of the most fascinating books I've ever read on the topics of angels & Heaven, and demons & Hell. Very informative!
November 8, 2017
I loved this book, and gleaned new information about heaven. As I read it, I looked up Bible passages to confirm the accuracy of his statements. Interesting read.

I always enjoy John Hagee books. They are informative and interesting. I learn a lot as he explains topics in a way that resonates well with me.

Absolutley loved it, very thought provoking.
September 15, 2018
Good read. A must for new believers.
I liked it because it gets us focused on what's really happening instead of getting caught up in the cares of life.

Actually listened to it several time - kept going back to listen to various parts. love it! For those people who think there is no hell, this is a must listen/read.
