Before reviewing any story, the reviewer has to have an overview of the author's biography so that they can understand their writing style. Jemima and Arvind Paul are Indian authors; Jemima held a PhD in Christian education, clearly depicted in the story.

"Snatched UP to Heaven" is a short story published in 2021 by the aforementioned authors. The story revolves around the innocent eight-year-old girl, Emma, and her little sister, Bella, who live peacefully with their father and mother. Their parents usually read to them before sleep, verses from the Bible, teaching them the affection of God. As the parents instill in their children these religious concepts, Emma starts dreaming each night about God, heaven, and Jesus. Each time she dreams about that, she wakes up excited to tell her parents and her sister what she dreamt about.

The story is well-structured, adopting a simple writing style understandable by any reader. Additionally, it teaches children in a simple way what happens to people when they die and that good people go to heaven while bad ones go to hell.

Personally, I didn't find any mistakes in the story, but as a Muslim, I didn't agree with the authors at some points, such as when they say Jesus is God's son and that he died because of people's sins. In brief, such education is required for children to know more about their religion to serve it in a good way so that they get rewarded at the end. I rate the story three out of four.
