90 Minutes in Heaven [DVD]

I was absolutely moved by this movie. As a Christian,this movie which is the Pastors real life experience of Death and then coming back to life is absolutely amazing. To watch him as he goes through all of his recovery and treatment and his family goes through all of this,and all of their emotions and their fath in God. This movie will have you in tears and also have you wanting a closer relationship with God. It shows you that no matter what you are going through, God has a reason for it and you have a purpose to help others out going through similar things you have gone through or are in the middle of going through. I absolutely highly recommend this movie. You won't be disappointed

I was streaming to find a good movie, and this came across the TV. I did not know anything about it. The movie is a true story. It is a family movie, and really speaks to the power of faith, family, prayer, and believing that with God, nothing is impossible. I had to finally buy this movie, not only because it is a feel good movie, but it is a movie that you will want to watch over and over again. I rate this five stars.

Great movie based on a true story!

Great movie!

I was hoping to see what I had read in the book, but the movie left out much of what is in the book. There is less than five minutes of heaven in the movie. The rest is about Don Piper's excruciating pain and turmoil after the experience of heaven. They left out the best part of the book, heaven but this seems to happen often when a book is made into a movie. I hate to say it but I must. Having read the book first I was to a point disappointed with the movie. If you haven't read the book I suggest you do so. It is a very uplifting book. The book and the movie are just to far apart. Don't misunderstand me there is much to like in this movie with regard to God's helping us through hard times. I just would have liked to have seen the part which is in the book about what Mr. Piper saw while he was in heaven for 90 minutes. NOTE: There is one thing this book and movie has given me. In all my many, many, years of law enforcement how many times have I been sent to an auto accident where often there would be one and some times several deaths. Never did I pray for the dead. The families that did not yet know of their loss I prayed for, but never the dead. After reading the book "90 Minutes in Heaven and seeing the movie I will at least pray not only for the families, but also for the dead. I have learned from this book and movie you never know what God has in mind. After all God does use his people to do His will. As a Christian I live and I learn. If for no other reason watch this movie and see how God can help you through the hardest of places. He will bring you from what seems like complete defeat to victory if you allow Him to do so.

This movie is about Heaven, alright- but it is about making a Heaven of this Earth, rather than about watching a ninety-minute special-effects version of the Heaven that Rev. Piper saw when he died that day back in 1989. I almost always read the reviews of the movies I buy or rent here on Amazon. I read the reviews of this movie, and I felt that it would be a good movie for my husband and I to watch. We are both Christian, and are facing some tribulation next month when I undergo a really wretched but much needed spinal repair. I was surprised when I read the other reviews, and my surprise was caused by the fact that so many people seemed disappointed that there wasn't "more" about Heaven. I did not agree with these people, because I thought that the whole movie was about Heaven! We have become excitement junkies, perhaps, when it comes to what we choose to watch on TV and what we rent or go see at the theater. Even being Christian, I felt myself feeling a little let down that this movie was not going to be filled with a mighty, special-effects vision of the Heaven that Rev. Piper saw when he died. I am hoping that all of you who choose to watch this movie will watch it with the idea of seeing those people around Rev. Piper try to raise him up- not from the dead, but from a Heaven so wondrous that he was depressed to be returned back to Earth. For those of us who are living our day-to-day lives, we often find ourselves struggling with many terrible and difficult events; the loss of a child; the shooting of innocent people caused by a hatred that runs so deep that we can hardly begin to understand it; we face tests of all kinds- driving tests, school exams, and tests of our patience when our children disobey again, just when we thought that they understood us. I found my spirit engaged in the movie. I wondered how I would feel if I was the pastor, or his wife, or one of his children or parents. I found tears rolling down my face as I watched a entire church pray through a solid night for Pastor Piper's life. There were many moments when I saw "A heaven being made of this Earth." And I enjoyed the movie a great deal. I would have given it 4.5 stars if I could have- there were little paces that I felt could have been made better. But all in all, I was heartily glad to spend the time watching real people deal with real troubles, and showing the myriad ways that one can help in the face of trouble. I hope you choose to enjoy it, too. I knew that I had heard the line, "make a Heaven of this Earth" somewhere, but I could not remember where. All I found when I researched it was a quote from an old, obscure book called "The North American Review", vol. 207. Let me know if you find a more relevant, recent, or more well-known source. Jai

It was great movie very inspiring!

I love this true story of a pastor that died, visited heaven and came back in his body.

This is a faithful portrayal of an incredible but true story. Well acted and presented.

Wonderful, heart warming.

Awesome movie... really made us think - right through the movie, if the movie makers erred with the movie title... going through the pain and struggle of the protagonist and his wife, it really felt many times like it was 90 months of hell that they went through. But then, like all tough times remind us - that it is not in God's plan and purpose to break us, and leave us like that. He makes us stronger through the process.

Christmas Gift. Well made enjoyable movie. Great Family movie.

based on a true story, great movie.
