What's Inside
What's Inside
Gabe Poirot died at 20 years old. His skull was cracked in half. Doctors told his family to prepare for the worst.
For 18 days, he was gone.
What he came back with wasn't just a story — it was a message. Inside these pages you'll read his firsthand account of standing before Jesus in the throne room of Heaven, and what Jesus said to him face-to-face. You'll discover what heaven actually looks, sounds, and smells like in staggering detail. You'll learn what Jesus told him about prayer, about your identity, about shame — and what He is coming back to do. You'll encounter a Jesus who is not soft, not distant, and not indifferent. A lion. A king. A man who waited His entire life just to meet with you.
This is not a theology textbook. It is not a feel-good near-death story. It is an encounter — and most readers say they finish it in a single sitting, in tears, unable to put it down.

You already know something is wrong with the version of Jesus you were handed.
Most people grew up with a Jesus who was gentle, patient, and vaguely distant. A figure in a painting. A concept in a sermon. Someone to believe in rather than someone to actually know.
But then grief hits. Or shame. Or a crisis of faith at 3am. And that Sunday-school version has nothing to say to you when you need it most.
Gabe Poirot didn't meet that Jesus.
The one he stood before was not soft. Not passive. Not indifferent. He was a lion. He was a man who looked Gabe directly in the eyes and spoke his name like it was the only word that mattered in the universe.
That Jesus — the real one — is the one waiting in these pages.
And once you encounter Him there, the distance goes away and it doesn't come back.
Some books you read. This one reads you back.
Readers consistently describe the same thing: they open it expecting a story and they come out the other side feeling like they've been seen — really seen — for the first time.
Not because Gabe is a great writer. But because what he witnessed in that throne room is the thing every human heart has always suspected but never dared to fully believe: that Jesus knows your name, that He chose you specifically, and that the cross was not an obligation. It was desire.
That truth lands differently when it comes from someone who stood there and saw the wounds.
People read it in one sitting. They cry through chapters. They buy copies for everyone they love. They say they don't have words for what changed — only that something did.
That is what waits for you in these pages

My sister kept sending me clips of Gabe talking about this book and I kept ignoring her. I'm not really a "read about heaven" kind of person. She finally just mailed me a copy. I read the first chapter to humor her. I did not put it down until 1am. I have not felt the presence of God that tangibly in years — maybe ever.
I lost my mom six weeks ago. A friend dropped this off and I finally opened it last night. I sobbed through half of it. Not the sad kind of sobbing — the kind where something releases. I slept through the night for the first time since she passed.
Bought this for my husband because he'd been going through a hard season spiritually. He read half of it and left it on the nightstand. I picked it up at midnight thinking I'd skim a few pages. I finished it at 4am. We both sat in the kitchen the next morning and just talked about Jesus for two hours. We haven't done that in a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions below
-
Most NDE books describe heaven as a place — the colors, the light, the landscape. This one describes a person. Gabe's 18 days weren't spent sightseeing. He stood before Jesus face-to-face, was spoken to by name, and saw his own name written in the wounds. Readers who have consumed every heaven book on the market consistently say this one hits differently — because it's not about the destination. It's about the encounter with Jesus Himself.
-
Skeptics consistently report that this book disarms them in a way they didn't expect. Gabe's account is backed by scripture at every turn, endorsed by NYT bestselling theologians, and medically documented as impossible to survive. But more than the evidence — the specificity of what he describes is what gets people. Vague stories are easy to dismiss. This one is not vague. Read the first chapter and decide for yourself
-
This is the book most readers in that place describe as the thing that broke the distance. Not because it teaches you new theology — but because Gabe's account of how Jesus looked at him, spoke to him, and refused to let shame define him makes the love of God feel present and personal in a way that is very hard to argue with. Dozens of readers describe closing the last page and immediately wanting to pray — not out of obligation, but because they wanted to.
-
It may be the most appropriate thing you could give them. Multiple readers have purchased 5, 10, even more copies specifically for people walking through grief or facing terminal illness. One reader bought 10 copies for cancer patients at the hospital where she works. The book doesn't minimize pain or offer hollow comfort — it offers an eyewitness account of where the people we love go, and what — or rather who — is waiting there. That is a different kind of comfort entirely.
