My 5 Minutes in Heaven: How It Could Happen to You is Mark Magill’s living testimony of his life-changing moments with God. A former atheist, Mark believed nothing that was in the Bible, much less in a God who offers eternal salvation through His Word. But after a supernatural encounter with the Lord, Mark’s life was changed forever. He had no idea about the number of trials and tribulations that would follow after that first impactful meeting, but he knew that a relationship with God was the only way to ensure a happy, fulfilled life. In My 5 Minutes in Heaven, Mark speaks of his first rapture, his stubbornness in connecting with God, and the big plans God still has in store for him.

In fascinating detail, the author describes the construction of heaven and earth, and also mentions the divine secrets that can never be talked about on earth. This is his true-life account of his five minutes in heaven. Mark Magill has an engaging narrative style: funny but also raw and unflinching. I was deeply moved by Mark’s wondrous testimonies. From atheist to Christian, Mark became an active follower of Christ, and his message is clear: Heaven and hell do exist, and lest we repent and give ourselves over to the Lord, we are set to spend eternity in hell. Quoting verses from Apostle Paul and the disciples, Mark opens up a different view of heaven and what it means to worship God. I learned many things from reading My 5 Minutes in Heaven, and so will you.
