Don Piper

Following a radio and television broadcasting career, Don Piper pursued a calling that he had since adolescence and became an ordained Christian minister. In 1989, on his way to church, a semi-truck collided with Piper’s car. Piper was pronounced dead at the scene. For the next ninety minutes, Piper experienced the glories of Heaven. Back on Earth, a passing minister felt led to stop and pray for the accident victim even though he was told the victim was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life, and the pleasure of Heaven was replaced by a long and painful recovery. Don returned from the gates of Heaven to endure 13 excruciating months of hospitalization, 34 major surgeries, including some never before attempted in the United States, and years of painful therapy and rehabilitation. He walks today as a result of miraculous and medically unexplainable events and today shares lessons of answered prayer, miracles, overcoming tragedy, pain and loss, and the reality of Heaven.

Don Piper has spoken to nearly three thousand audiences around the globe since the release of his New York Times best selling book, “90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death and Life“. First published in 2004, Don’s book remained on the New York Times best-seller list for nearly four years.

Don has appeared on NBC’s Today Show, Dateline NBC, ABC’s Nightline, FOX Network’s Sean Hannity’s America, and The O’Reilly Factor. He’s also been interviewed by hundreds of radio stations, newspapers, and magazines all over the world. His books have been published in 40 languages and sold over 5 millions copies.
