Synopsis

“If you’d asked me who God is on December 9, the year of my accident, I would have been able to give you a fairly cohesive but theoretical answer. A day later all of that changed.”A simple surgery went horribly wrong. Steve Sjogren died on the operating table. He encountered a heavenly world where he felt infinite peace. And then he had to come back—back to a physical reality filled with pain and disability and an endless line of tests.The drama of dying suddenly paled in comparison to the trauma of living. Sjogren could not face this new existence with his same old comfortable understanding of God.“I had minimized God,” Sjogren says. “Somehow, over time, he had become fairly predictable—like he could be outlined, fully grasped, and contained in a neat set of mere ideas. Now I saw that he apparently wasn’t all that impressed with my cool little notebooks.”One day in heaven followed by hundreds in agony forged a deeper and stronger faith than Sjogren could have crafted on his own. In Heaven’s Lessons, Sjogren shares his experiences and the life-changing ways they have affected his perspective on success, suffering, and the mysteries of God.Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l4jugXqiBU

About Steve Sjogren

Steve Sjogren has lived and ministered in Los Angeles, Oslo, Norway, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Tampa as he and his wife, Janie, helped launch new churches aimed at those who are spiritual but not religious. Their church in Cincinnati, Vineyard Community Church, grew from thirty to more than 6,000 weekly attendees mainly through free, creative acts of serving the community, such as giving away bottles of water at stop lights and offering car washes for one dollar--where a dollar was given to each driver for the privilege of washing their car--to show God's love in a practical way. Steve and his wife now live in the Los Angeles area where they head the Kindness Outreach movement and Kindness.com, a site for outreach leaders around the world.

I enjoyed the book as an experience of a spiritual nature that its Author is sharing in order to inspire his readers - but it did not touch me as profoundly as some other books of this kind. Still, it has beautiful perceptions of God's power to transform us and of the Grace that sometimes touches us......more

I typically don't read "theological" books unless I am fairly certain the author's beliefs are at least somewhat close to mine. I don't mean Christian vs Buddhism or something else so diametrically different. I mean Christian as in rather conservative Baptist. I'm still a KJV preferred translation B......more
