Publishers Marketplace reports (via email) that Don Piper‘s book 90 Minutes in Heaven has been sold to a production studio.
Meaning you could be seeing the movie version before long…
NYT bestselling authors Don Piper and Cecil Murphey’s 90 MINUTES IN HEAVEN, in which Baptist minister Piper recounts his death, passage to heaven, and return to earth where he endures a long and grueling recovery and spiritual awakening, to Dawn Parouse Productions (PRISON BREAK, TRU CALLING) for a feature film, by Sean Daily at Hotchkiss and Associates, on behalf of Deirdre Knight at The Knight Agency.
Without the special effects, people were already buying into his story. Which means the movie could just influence more gullible people to think their visions of Heaven are actually accurate….
