About this book
In 2004, six-year-old Alex Malarkey and his father were involved in a catastrophic car accident that left Alex paralyzed. After waking from a months-long coma, Alex described an extraordinary journey to heaven, where he says he met Jesus, saw angels, and witnessed miracles that healed his most severe spinal injuries. His firsthand account, later written by his father Kevin Malarkey, blends personal testimony with reflections on faith and the limits of medical science. The book chronicles a family's struggle to make sense of an experience that seems to transcend ordinary explanation.
