was an ordinary Christian--trying to do the right thing, usually attending church except when it interfered with his hobbies, praying (much more often during tough times), and going about his daily life.

His life changed drastically when an industrial accident resulted in four resuscitations and several trips to heaven. This is his story, the story Jesus sent him back to his earthly life to share, the story of being judged by Jesus.

While in a coma, Carl saw, heard, and remembered everything said and done around him, including the angel Jesus sent to comfort and pray with his wife. He also saw his heavenly friends and relatives who preceded him in death. They shared wisdom and warnings of future events and messages for loved ones.

Carl learned not to fret about earthly things; ultimately, they don't matter. In heaven, everything is provided for you.

This book is the mission Jesus entrusted to Carl to share the amazing wonder of heaven, the importance of being accountable for your actions, and the complete wonder and joy of our happy, laughing, and loving Jesus.
