Jemima Paul, who has a Ph.D. in Christian Education, and her husband Arvind Paul wrote the book "Snatched Up to Heaven!". The book focuses on the experiences of their two children, Deepika, 2, and Priyanka, 4, who both claimed to have flown to Heaven and encountered Jesus and God. The authors did their own study into Bible verses that supported their girls' experience and then skillfully recounted the children's narrative of their experience.

The book is an interesting read because it examines the notion of going to Heaven and Hell, which is something that we've all wondered about. The children's descriptions of Heaven were especially fascinating since they included details about their encounters with Jesus and God as well as their exploration of the celestial home. It was touching to read the parents' description of their girls' experiences and their acceptance of their claims.

It was amazing to see the writers' investigation into Bible verses that related to their daughters' experiences. The children's testimony gained credibility as a result, and the novel became more factual. However, the authors' interpretation of what happened and their personal beliefs about Christianity frequently overpowered the children's testimony, making it challenging to tell the two stories apart.

The children's drawings of Heaven and Hell, which gave a visual portrayal of their experience, were one of the book's highlights. The authors' comparison of the two locations was particularly fascinating because it provided readers with a window into the minds and feelings of the kids.

Unfortunately, there were some issues with the book. absence of the book had obvious expert editing because it was rife with grammatical mistakes that grew bothersome as I read it. My appreciation of the book was further diminished by the overuse of exclamation points, which seemed superfluous and took away from the gravity of the subject.

I rate "Snatched Up to Heaven!" 3 out of 5 stars overall. The writers' study into Bible passages that matched their girls' experiences added legitimacy to the book, and the children's testimonies were fascinating and endearing. It was challenging to separate the authors' opinions from the children's story due to the amateurish editing and lack of expert editing.

Given that it offers an intriguing viewpoint, I would suggest this book to Christians and anyone who are curious about Christianity. because it offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs. It emphasizes the value of parents believing in and supporting their children, thus I would also suggest it to parents. In order to fully enjoy the book's content, readers should be aware that it is not without flaws and could necessitate a certain degree of open-mindedness.
