The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven: A Remarkable Account of Miracles, Angels, and Life Beyond This World. By Kevin Malarkey. Carol Stream, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 2010.

Kevin and his six year old son Alex were in a car accident that left Alex a quadriplegic. Interspersed with Kevin’s account of the accident and rehab are chapters written by Alex. Alex was in a coma for two months after the injury. When he recovered well enough to talk, he told his parents that angels and Jesus had taken care of him during that time. He recalls specific sights and conversations from his time in Heaven. Years after his injury, Alex became the first child to have the “Christopher Reeve surgery”—that is a phrenic nerve pacer implant. The implant is to wean people off ventilators or lengthen the amount of time that they can be off a vent. An interesting account from a child and family whose faith is very important to them.

A copy of this book can be checked out from the Paralysis Resource Center’s library. Please see the online catalog and borrowing instructions.
