Dr Crandall brings readers and listeners some inspiring memorable moments from his life as a husband, father, Christian, missionary and cardiologist. Dr Crandall tells us his mother raised him to know God. He went to church, but didn't engage in a personal relationship with God. He eventually came to a point of seeking God, not on the Internet like most, but with his time and his skills. Crandall went on missions to other countries. Helping the underprivileged is where he witnessed God's supernatural work. He felt God's presence in their music and worship services, which were simple and non-scripted. As a doctor, he relives his time as a student taking care of cadavers, how God lead him to pray for his patients, and the supernatural results they received. He shares the happiness of being a father and letting go of his terminally ill son. Dr Crandall lovingly referred to his son's funeral as a "going home service." Dr Crandall also reveals how God showed himself supernaturally to the doctor, as well as others, giving them comfort, answering their questions, and even warning them.

The personal experiences Dr Crandall has when patients pass away will most likely resonate with the majority and maybe even trigger memories. When the doctor described the white mist at patients' deathbeds, and how the room can be either peaceful or restless, my own experience came rushing back as if it happened yesterday -- walking out of my dying brother's room, feeling crowded in an empty corridor and hearing someone whisper my name. I found comfort in knowing family members' who had already passed were there to take him home. Hearing endless stories about visiting angels, loved ones, etc, can give one peace but actually experiencing it can fill one with purpose.

Dr Crandall narrates the audio version. He shares these inspirational stories with ease. Expect tears and tingling as you listen to Touching Heaven. It's an amazing story for believers and nonbelievers.
