Snatched up to Heaven!
The book tells the story about how a mother,Jemima, narrated the visions her daughters had about Heaven. The mother decides to document their visions without editing the "childish language" in which her daughters describe them. She wrote them down as directed by the Holy Spirit.
The girls (Priyanka and Deepika) had out-of-body experiences in which they were both "snatched up to Heaven!". Jemima gives her interpretation of their visions, using the relevant scriptural references to back up her interpretation. She also criticises her interpretation by trying to see them from another perspective, also backed by scriptural references.
I like the fact that she gave scriptural references to support every vision her girls saw. I liked the fact that she did not wait for us to critique or question the reality of the visions. She did it herself in a very objective way.

The visions seemed genuine because they were compared to the experience and exposure of the girls. The comparisons revealed a very slim chance of the details about the visions being fabricated, as they were things the girls normally would not have known at their age or have been exposed to in their geographical location. At some point, the kids’ literal experiences resembled an "Alice in Wonderland" kind of experience, but she was able to bring out the figurative meaning using scripture.
We are encouraged to be intentional about having a closer relationship with our creator. She also speaks about activities we do that we think are harmless but are celebrating demons, like Halloween.

The book concludes with a comparison between heaven and hell. She tells us the effect the revelation has had on her and her family; which is doing everything with eternity in view, including writing this book, without the aim of profiting financially from it. She also provides graphical and audio accounts of the girls' revelation.

I would give this a 4, because the book was great despite being the author's first book or publication. She shared the book because she felt led to sharing it despite being afraid of attention to her and her family.
