The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven by Kevin and Alex Malarkey*A 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.

Alex survived but suffered traumatic injury to his brain and an internal decapitation. His skull was almost completely detached from his spinal column. Alex’s parents were told that injuries involving this extent of spinal alignment virtually always result in death. If Alex were to survive, he would be a quadriplegic, never breathe independently, swallow food, or speak.

“When I arrived in heaven, I was inside the gate. The gate was really tall, and it was white. It was very shiny, and it looked like it had scales like a fish. I was in the inner heaven and everything was brighter and more intense on the inside of the gate. It was perfect! Perfect is my favorite word for describing heaven.”—Alex Malarkey

MY REVIEW
This is a true story with pictures of before and after the car accident.
I think as a whole most of us are skeptics. We only believe what we see for ourselves, but when we hear a story like this where for all reasons this little six-year-old boy, Alex should have died.
Then at different parts of the story we learn of miraculous things that are happening, we can believe.
Also young children don’t know everything about the Bible and Heaven, but then he tells his stories of Heaven, God, Angels and even the devil and demons.
I was amazed at how so many people prayed and believed Alex would make it, also at all of the money and things that came in when needed.
Sometimes when people write books about going to Heaven I don’t believe all of them, but I really believe that Alex went to Heaven and sees angels and is very close to the Lord.
I highly recommend this book as very encouraging and uplifting. Alex never gives up, has a fantastic attitude and loves Jesus so much.
