Publisher's Summary

Encounter the glories of Heaven, the terrors of hell, and the stunning reality of the unseen world!

When Jim Woodford died, he spent 11 hours in Heaven. When he came back, he was changed forever.

A successful airline pilot and businessman, Jim had it all - a loving family, substantial wealth, and all of the good things that come with it. But none of this was enough to satisfy the emptiness he felt in his heart. He always hungered for something more. And then one day, he died.

Jim was never a religious man. When it came to matters of God and faith, he was ambivalent. But as he lay in the hospital bed, clinically dead for more than 11 hours, his consciousness was transported to the wonders of Heaven and the horrors of hell. When he returned to this world, he brought back the missing piece his soul had been longing for.

Join Jim Woodford on this unforgettable journey into the afterlife!

Awaken to the vivid sights, sounds and sensations that you can enjoy in Heaven forever.

Be inspired by detailed descriptions of the "contrails of prayer" in Heaven's skies, the "sticky love" of God, what it feels like to hug an angel, and more!

Encounter the chilling realities of hell, and the sharp claws of destruction that threatened to pull Jim into eternal darkness.

Take comfort in the "six simple words" that led Jim into the Presence of Christ

Whether you need hope for tomorrow or strength for today, this story is your invitation to a radical transformation!

Great story and encouraging but narration not suitable

Great story but the narrator should be doing a great job of poetry or children’s stories. It could have been read by a more mature voice. However very consistent details with other NDE’s. Good stuff and although story annoyingly interrupted with reflective stuff , an excellent climax with a great explanation of grace. Good gift for those on the parameters.

Incredible and hopeful.

I absolutely loved this! I didn't wanna stop it but when I went to work it was hard to hear. But when I listened... ah. It was invigorating. Exciting. Suspenseful. Thank you God for showing Jim this amazing experience and sharing his amazing story! Amen!

I have thoroughly read this audio book

I’m going on eighty five and I’m suffering from Parkinson Disease and osteoarthritis I’m also wheelchair bound.
It’s a great way to start your day by listening to the audiobook “an unexpected journey”
For those who are afraid of death you should listen to it and repent and turn to the Lord Jesus for guidance and forgiveness.

Not what I expected

I found it religious more than spiritual. I found the narrator voice difficult to listen to. I gave up after chapter 3.

Listen to the sample BEFORE u buy...

I watched a video where the writer recalled his NDE and then bought the audio book in order to hear all the details. It was this impulse purchase that made me ALWAYS listen to the sample first from that instance on...
Never before have I heard such a simpering, overly dramatic voice from any narrator. Spoiled the book completely for me, so much so that I never got past the first chapter.
