One of the most amazing stories you will ever read! It will surely activate your skeptical button…this is unavoidable because it is such a stretching of the boundaries of what all of us know to be possible.
But here’s what stayed with me as I tried to evaluate it.
The boy was 6 when the event occurred. They document his knowledge of events that happened while he was unconscious or removed from the scene.
He couldn’t have made this up.
He did not have a miraculous recovery. He is a quadriplegic who has survived but each step along the way of improving has been slow and painful. Yet anyone who comes in contact with him comes away saying he winds up encouraging and motivating them. It's been years since the accident occurred and his story has been completely consistent since the beginning.
His statements about Heaven have been 100% consistent with revealed truth in the Bible. At 6 years of age there is no way he could have the knowledge to make up stories about his experiences that exhibit this consistency. See more at his website.
It appears there is something miraculous at work here on many levels. We all would be making a mistake not to pay attention and see what this revelation might mean for us.
This book will enrich your life, fill you with a sense of wonder and give you an expanded perspective about the world we are living in.
Amazon Editorial Review
In 2004, Kevin Malarkey and his six-year-old son, Alex, suffered an horrific car accident. The impact from the crash paralyzed Alex—and medically speaking, it was unlikely that he could survive. “I think Alex has gone to be with Jesus,” a friend told the stricken dad. But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the angels that took him through the gates of heaven itself. Of the unearthly music that sounded just terrible to a six-year-old. And, most amazing of all... Of meeting and talking to Jesus. The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is the true story of an ordinary boy’s most extraordinary journey. As you see heaven and earth through Alex’s eyes, you’ll come away with new insights on miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of a father’s love.
From the Inside Flap
“God is amazing. I’m just a kid.” —Alex Malarkey
We were made for so much more than the things of this world. Sometimes we can sense it . . . we have a restless, dissatisfied feeling that we don’t quite belong here, that this is not our final home.
Yet who do you know who has been to the next world? Sure, you may have heard stories of white light and tunnels and near-death experiences. But what if there was a person who had been to Heaven—who had actually walked through the gates—and stayed long enough to learn about the things of God? Would you be interested in what he had to say?
Meet Alex Malarkey. Alex and his dad, Kevin, were in a car accident so horrific that emergency workers recommended calling the coroner to the scene for Alex. For the next two months, Alex lingered in a coma. When he finally awoke, he revealed something amazing: He had spent time in Heaven with Jesus while unconscious and had come back with astonishing revelations about what he had seen, heard, and experienced.
You may be intrigued. You may be skeptical. You may be hungry to know more about what lies beyond life on earth. Join Alex on his journey . . . and your life may be changed forever.
“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.” Mark 10:14
