Yes | No“The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is about a boy named Alex and his family and how they struggled through the tragedy of the accident. Throughout the book Alex tells his parents about how he visited heaven/ his near death experience when he was unconsious after the accident and in the hospital. One of the main ideas of this book was that Alex would be fully healed from his severe injuries from the accident. On page 148 Kevin Malarkey had voices in his head saying Alex is going to be healed. Alex is going to be healed. The next thing he heard was He will be fully healed. He will be fully healed. Another main idea from this book was that when you pray for something God will try to answer your prayers and miracles. If what you pray for is how your life should be then that's how it will be and miracles happen everyday. During the book when Alex's father was taking care of their three other children the house lost electricity so they went to their mother's sister's house. When they came back the next day a tree had fallen on their house. It is a miracle that they were not in the house at that time. This book helped me understand how God works in peoples lives everyday. In the book many miracles happen to this family. Some people do not believe in God or the Devil but I think if someone wants to know more about this topic this is the book to read. Even though this family may have a child with a disability they are still just a normal family like every other family in this world.”

I'd love to meet him someday. I fully believe he experienced what he claims. I do think he is mistaken about angels and wings, but other than that minor detail, I think Jesus blessed him indeed.”
