Publisher's summary

Encounter the glories of Heaven, the terrors of hell, and the stunning reality of the unseen world!

When Jim Woodford died, he spent 11 hours in Heaven. When he came back, he was changed forever.

A successful airline pilot and businessman, Jim had it all - a loving family, substantial wealth, and all of the good things that come with it. But none of this was enough to satisfy the emptiness he felt in his heart. He always hungered for something more. And then one day, he died.

Jim was never a religious man. When it came to matters of God and faith, he was ambivalent. But as he lay in the hospital bed, clinically dead for more than 11 hours, his consciousness was transported to the wonders of Heaven and the horrors of hell. When he returned to this world, he brought back the missing piece his soul had been longing for.

Join Jim Woodford on this unforgettable journey into the afterlife!

Awaken to the vivid sights, sounds and sensations that you can enjoy in Heaven forever.

Be inspired by detailed descriptions of the "contrails of prayer" in Heaven's skies, the "sticky love" of God, what it feels like to hug an angel, and more!

Encounter the chilling realities of hell, and the sharp claws of destruction that threatened to pull Jim into eternal darkness.

Take comfort in the "six simple words" that led Jim into the Presence of Christ

Whether you need hope for tomorrow or strength for today, this story is your invitation to a radical transformation!

God Mercy

I enjoyed this book very much. It supports what I believe. Jesus is merciful. God is always calling us to forgiveness.

Good story but needs a different reader

The story is very good. I enjoyed hearing about his experience and would love to meet him one day. The only thing that bothered me was the reader. Perhaps English is a second language for him. I think he would do well reading children's books, but his continued hard pronunciation of an "a" every time he encountered one was offputting. His voice was pleasant enough though.

A Great Compelling Account 😇

The reading of the story was superb and the telling of what the author experienced is a very interesting and compelling account of what happened. I would recommend this to everyone.

Beautiful story giving hope for all we lose and are concerned about their destination

The material was enjoyable and gripping. However, I felt the narrative was lacking. His telling of the story lacked enthusiasm and excitement. Had it not been for the content I possibly would not have finished the book! I agree with another review that his voice would be better suited for a juvenile reading.

Thank you!

I have listened to this book twice already & probably will some more. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who will listen. I am a funeral director & am recommending it to our families at our Holiday Memorial Ser.
It gives hope for us as we walk through life each day. And it gives peace knowing that our loved ones are in their perfect homes.
THANK YOU for sharing your beautiful story from God.
I love every word of your journey. I also found and watched you share your journey on YouTube.
God’s continued blessings for you & your family.

Amazing story!

I loved hearing Jim’s story. However, I should have read the book because I didn’t enjoy listening to the reader.

Euye-ipening and anointed

The story and message are very encouraging. But the meditation at the end of the chapters are the best I’ve seen in a book. It really takes you to a personal relationship with Jesus.
