NASHVILLE — LifeWay Christian Resources has stopped selling all “experiential testimonies about heaven” following consideration of a 2014 Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) resolution on “the sufficiency of Scripture regarding the afterlife.”
LifeWay said its decision to halt sales of heaven visitation resources March 24 is in response to an inquiry about the book “90 Minutes in Heaven” by Don Piper, which is being made into a movie slated for release this fall. The book recounts Piper’s supposed experience of heaven following a severe auto accident.
The resolution, adopted by SBC messengers, warned Christians not to allow “the numerous books and movies purporting to explain or describe the afterlife experience” to “become their source for an understanding of the afterlife.”
