I've Been to Heaven

The True Story of a Husband's Supernatural Near-Death Experience of the Afterlife, His Wife's Prayer That Brought Him Back, and God's Message of Hope for the World

By: Steve Boyls, Kathy Boyls MD, Troy Anderson, Shannon Daugherty - foreword

Narrated by: Kathy Boyls, Steve Boyls

A powerful reminder that God still answers prayer—and miracles still happen

Admitted to the ICU with COVID-19, Steve Boyls spent forty-five days on a ventilator and three and a half months in the hospital. As his body struggled to stay alive, his wife, Dr. Kathy Boyls, fought bureaucracy, medical protocols, and demonic attacks and, through warfare, supported by friends and family, received a miracle.

But as the battle raged on earth, Steve was ushered into Heaven, where he witnessed unspeakable beauty, unimaginable joy, and overwhelming hope. From watching a ball game with the son he lost through miscarriage to seeing old friends, family, and pets to an incredible encounter with Jesus and his warhorses, Steve's adventures in Heaven are some of the most detailed and uplifting stories brought back from beyond the veil.

Engaging and masterfully told with the help of Pulitzer Prize nominee Troy Anderson, the Boylses' story is an incredible reminder that even with eternity before us, this life we live now is worth the fight. Miracles do happen, God still answers the prayer of faith—and He's coming back very soon.

authentic

Credible and inspiring story spoken by the people who experienced it. God has blessed themm richly through this tragedy.

Wonderful knowledge of what Heaven looks like!

It was written very well and very believable! I enjoyed it very much and am so glad I read it!

The miracle of fervent prayer

I love hearing of visits to heaven. Hearing the healing power of God. The journey of extreme trails, one medical emergency after another, was shocking. I know not everyone would have persevered as Steve, his wife their family and friends faithfully with consistency. Hearing form the perspectives of many of the prayer worriers help give more credibility to the journey. Praise God he prepared you both with faith, deep love. Hearing such great detail of your visit to Heaven was amazing. Meeting with family, an unborn son living fully alive enjoying Heaven was moving. Baseball games and massive horses getting ready to fight your battle. For all those who died during covid or from other attacks who didn’t have the wisdom and knowledge to fight fervently may they be in the Lord’s presence now, may their family be filed with a new hope and stronger faith to fight the good fight with God’s angel army by their side. Thank you for sharing your shocking, incredible and victorious journey to Heaven and back.

Answers many questions about what the third heaven is like

I’m so glad Steve and Kathy Boyls decided to write a book about their story. It answers many questions I have had about heaven but leaves me with many more that I will just have to wait to find out. This could make a great movie! I enjoyed their narration of this audiobook and the moments where you could hear they were so moved by something that they were fighting back tears of joy over God’s care for his people.

Wow, just Wow

I love listening to audible books narrated by the authors. I love hearing the emotions in their voices as they share their personal stories. This is one of the best books I've ever listened to. Steve's story about heaven brings so much joy and hope for our eternal home. Kathy's story was equally powerful as she shares how she was surrounded by so many believers who prayed and supported her and the family as they lived this story. God shines through every page.
I'm telling everyone who will listen how wonderful this book is.
