While undergoing treatment, her face suddenly turned a dark shade of blue, then black. Her mother screamed for help, and a nurse tried to revive her...to no avail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today, Crystal does not remember what happened in that hospital room during the nine minutes she was unconscious and unable to breathe on her own. She has no memory of the panic and the rushing nurses and the loud cries of \"Code Blue.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e She only remembers drifting off...and waking up in heaven. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This unexpected meeting of a self-described sinner and skeptic with her God changed everything. Raised Christian, she had left her faith behind after childhood abuse and the subsequent struggles and suffering of her troubled teens and early adulthood.

Heaven is real. And God's love for us is the realest thing of all.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Crystal McVea, Alex Tresniowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476711879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476711874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 5.47w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e169718 \/ Waking Up in Heaven: A True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Crystal McVea","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043341594879,"sku":"9781476711874","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_beaf89d5-f49f-4c88-ad0e-640fdb6dd9ad.jpg?v=1684966600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waking-up-in-heaven-crystal-mcvea-9781476711874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
