First Presbyterian Church of Kingwood

Mar 25, 2009

Best-selling author Don Piper, 90 Minutes in Heaven and Heaven is Real, will share his experience with Heaven, resulting from a terrible car crash suffered in 1989. The event and book signing (starting at 6:15 p.m.) will be hosted on Wednesday, April 29, at 7 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church-Kingwood.

Piper is a best-selling author, speaker, actor, syndicated columnist, former CBS & CBN executive, youth minister, education minister, senior adult minister, Baptist Student Ministry director, single adult pastor and senior pastor. Having been in full-time Christian ministry since 1984, he most recently served as Minister of Education and Single Adults at First Baptist Church, Pasadena, TX.

He has traveled the world sharing his message of hope and healing. In 1989, an 18-wheeler struck Don's Ford Escort head on. He was killed instantly-pronounced dead by four sets of EMT's. Shortly after the accident, a pastor arrived on the scene and began praying for "the man in the red car." God worked a miracle and sent Don back to a broken body. During the time he was dead, Piper was granted the extreme privilege of glimpsing Heaven itself.

Don's experience in Heaven gives him a unique insight into eternity and a strong desire to tell others about Christ. His difficult recovery allows him to identify with the heartbroken and crestfallen, ministering to them with the understanding of someone who's been there. His goal is to help bitter people become better, to turn disappointments into divine appointments. He calls it "finding a new normal" and he's made it his life's work.

First Presbyterian Church-Kingwood is located at 5520 Kingwood Drive in Kingwood, TX. With over 2,000 members, FPCK is the fourth-largest congregation in the 112-member New Covenant Presbytery. To learn more, visit the website at www.fpc-kingwood.org, or call 281.360.5555.
