A day later all of that changed.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA simple surgery went horribly wrong. Steve Sjogren died on the operating table. He encountered a heavenly world where he felt infinite peace. And then he had to come back—back to a physical reality filled with pain and disability and an endless line of tests. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe drama of dying suddenly paled in comparison to the trauma of living. Sjogren could not face this new existence with his same old comfortable understanding of God. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“I had minimized God,” Sjogren says. “Somehow, over time, he had become fairly predictable—like he could be outlined, fully grasped, and contained in a neat set of mere ideas. Now I saw that he apparently wasn’t all that impressed with my cool little notebooks.” \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne day in heaven followed by hundreds in agony forged a deeper and stronger faith than Sjogren could have crafted on his own. In \u003ci\u003eHeaven’s Lessons\u003c\/i\u003e, Sjogren shares his experiences and the life-changing ways they have affected his perspective on success, suffering, and the mysteries of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatch the trailer here: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5l4jugXqiBU\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nelson, Thomas, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151729115376,"sku":"9781400204328","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400204328_p0.jpg?v=1763711816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400204328","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
