Twentyâfive years in the ER could become a resume for despair, but for Dr. Robert D. Lesslie itâs a foundation for inspiring tales of angels who are friends, nurses, doctors, patients, strangers, or those unseen but clearly present âothersâ in the midst of trial.

As Pagan poetics can take one only so far, there has been a changing of the guard: Beatrice, in the Garden of Eden, replaced Virgil as Danteâs guide for the final leg of his journey. The lovers, reunited, soar weightlessly into the Medieval Heavens, through the planetary spheres and the fixed stars, beyond the limits of time and space, into the dwelling place of God, the Emphyrean, the Heaven of Fire. Along the way, the lovers stop to interview blessed citizens of the Heavenly Utopia, meeting friends and notables, apostles and martyrs and, finally, in their place Our Lady and God himself. Paradiso is Danteâs last poem and, by general agreement, his most beautiful. It is also his most difficult and even he warns us not to follow if we are not up to the journey. Luckily Fr. Woods is available to keep us on track as we soar through the laneless realm of the sky.

But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the angels that took him through the gates of heaven itself. Of the unearthly music that sounded just terrible to a six-year-old. And, most amazing of all . . . Of meeting and talking to Jesus.
The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven is the true story of an ordinary boyâs most extraordinary journey. As you see heaven and earth through Alexâs eyes, youâll come away with new insights on miracles, life beyond this world, and the power of a fatherâs love.
