Description

I purchased this book as a gift for my dad, a retired airline captain, but soon discovered I couldn't put it down. Both of us are professional pilots and we easily rate it 5-Stars. The aviation aspects of the book are professional and technically accurate, yet the emphasis throughout is on a loving God. We think the book is a masterpiece and could be enjoyed by everyone, pilot or not. Capt. E. Layton - Boeing 757 - Major Airline Pilot This "life after death" true-story is both a page-turner and a faith-builder. The author does not commercialize his experience of heaven but tells it in a humble and reverent way while using breathtaking descriptions. I have recommended this book to my entire church. Pastor Kenneth Cetton - Park Terrace Baptist Church Flight To Heaven is an awesome read and has taught me a lot and given me peace and courage for a new chapter in my life. I'm purchasing more copies and giving it out everywhere. Captain Randy Hass - Airbus A320US Airways Dale's experience of the plane crash and trip to heaven has given him an incredible sense of looking at normal life through a spiritual lens and humble spirit. His commitment to Biblical truth and his ability to communicate from the heart as well as the head is admirable. Read this book and be prepared to be blessed in remarkable ways. Pastor William Knopp , D. Min. First Baptist Church of Corvallis Experience a Life-Changing Vision of Heaven Imagine getting a glimpse of heaven, a preview of life in God's presence. Could life here ever be the same?Capt. Dale Black has flown as a commercial pilot all over the world, but one flight changed his life forever--an amazing journey to heaven and back. The only survivor of a horrific plane crash, Dale was hovering between life and death when he had a wondrous experience of heaven. What he saw, what he heard, and what he learned there continues to ripple through his life and touch others. Against all odds, Dale miraculously recovered from his injuries and learned to fly again. Now, with his life as a testament, he shares his inspiring story--offering hope and encouragement for those dealing with serious injuries or the loss of a loved one, and those looking for assurance about this life and the next. "Dale Black's near-death experience took my breath away. Flight To Heaven is a spiritually rich reflection on the enormous love God has for His children and the lengths to which He will go to bring them safely home." -- Trudy Harris , author of Glimpses of Heaven Capt.

A Heavenly Experience Within A Much Larger Story

Dale's story was not only inspiring, but guided me to some biblical truths that are not always apparent in everyday life. If you are expecting a book filled with visions, events, and experiences of heaven, you will be disappointed. The author does give credible evidence of a heavenly experience, but it is only part of a much larger story.

I was blessed to read through his experiences of let down after let down, while he wrestled with God's will for his recovery and his life. He never gave up hope and trusted God through it all. The lessons that he learned while persevering through his injuries will stay with me for a long time.

I am glad that Dale took the time to write such an incredible story and I believe that any believer who reads the wisdom in these pages - especially if they are going through a dark period - will find a deeper understanding of God and how they can find Him in the midst of it.

What an inspiration!

I met Dale Black on a cruise when he was speaking at a Bible group meeting. I am also an airline pilot and was floored when I heard him tell his story. I was looking forward to reading his book to get more details of the crash. His description had just the right depth of details..enough to keep experienced pilots interested, while not providing too much detail for the Earthbound. He is such a good writer that I could easily place myself in the cockpit going through the crash. I found myself bracing for the impact after having sweated through the emergency procedures and felt the helplessness when nothing could be done to save the airplane. The most dramatic aspect of the book for me was the miraculous recovery and getting back on the horse to become an airline pilot. If you have a chance to meet Dale or his wife, you will be very glad to feel their love and inspiration.

A wonderful short story for anyone who may wonder what it might mean to go to heaven. Life on earth is too short for it to be all there is. I have had two personal experiences but not as profound as this one. The fact that he waited 40 years to tell his story adds merit.
