Summary: Get Heavenly Minded So You'll Be Of Earthly Use!
Review: With a book like this one must decide: Either Jesse is telling the truth or he is lying through his teeth. Its one or the other. Having personally seen/heard Jesse in action I am convinced he speaks the truth(And I'm typically a very cynical person). Jesse KNOWS Jesus. It just radiates from him. This book has not only given me a picture of my future mailing address(!) but has impacted me powerfully with just how much Jesus loves me. Consequently it has put me more in love with Jesus and given me a greater desire to serve Him all my days. This generation of believers is not heavenly-minded enough. Yet how often does the apostle Paul speak about it!? I give this book a hearty 'amen'. Blessings to Jesse and all who read this book with a hungry heart!

Summary: Thought provoking!
Review: Wow, great description! Jesse Duplantis really makes it easy for an imagination to engage these pictures. If you're looking for guidance to strengthen your faith, this may be the best book for you. His "experiences" seem very true, it makes you think a lot. The reason for this book is exactly what he does, he helps you find god more easily, he explains in great detail what we're all looking forward to.

Summary: An eyewitness account of the third heaven
Review: You can read the whole book at one sitting. The highlight of this book is Jesse's EYEWITNESS account of his 5 hour 15 minutes earth time trip via CHARIOT type transportation (with his angel) to the third heaven. Jesse landed in PARADISE first where he spent time exploring the new found land with beautiful scenery - mountains, valleys, flowers, grass, tree of life, river of life, heavenly fragrance, no shadows, animals etc. Jesse also saw CHILDREN in Paradise. Jesse had to eat the FRUIT from the Tree of Life to impart strength to him throughout his entire trip, more so as he moved closer to the Throne Room. Then, Jesse moved on to the heavenly CITY where he saw the WALL OF JASPER and the names of the apostles as FOUNDATIONS. Jesse also saw the BOOK OF LIFE. His appointment with the great God Yahweh was in the THRONE ROOM, the center of heaven. He met and conversed with old testament characters like Abraham, King David (who happenned to be his other tour guide - could it be King David was Jesse's son, so King David guided the author who is also called Jesse?), prophet Jonah and one new testament character, the apostle Paul. Such conversations with saints is what the Apostle's Creed called: "COMMUNION OF THE SAINTS". It is NOT necromancy which is forbidden in Scripture. Of course, he met JESUS both in the heavenly city and in the Throne Room. Jesse's conversations with Jesus is outside the Throne Room cos he heard Jesus preached in the Throne Room. Jesse saw big holes in Jesus' feet where light was shining through. Jesse recorded his detailed conversations with the Apostle Paul, his Bible hero. SERVANTHOOD seems to be the MOTIVATION factor among the saints and angels alike in the third heaven. Jesse's THRONE ROOM experience is the CLIMAX of his trip. Our Father is very BIG. His face cannot be seen cos the Light emanating from Him is too intense and too bright. Jesse saw Father's huge hands of light and His feet. Jesse also saw his own MANSION and went inside to have a look at the furnishings of his own mansion in the heavenly city. All our heart's desire was catered for!! The KEY message Jesus wants Jesse to bring to us is that JESUS IS COMING BACK VERY SOON, much sooner than we think.
