According to Business
Insider, Alex Malarkey didn’t visit Heaven after all.
At the time of the alleged visit, Malarkey had been in a car accident that left him paralyzed and in a coma. When he finally
came to, Malarkey began
telling stories about visiting Heaven and meeting
with Jesus.
These stories eventually became a book titled The Boy Who Came Back
From Heaven. This book has been on the shelves of many a Christian bookstore.
The trouble is, if you didn't visit Heaven in the first place, then it’s hard to come back from there. A book about such then quickly becomes bogus.
When asked why he lied about these heavenly experiences, Malarkey replied: …I
thought it would get me attention.
An obvious case of “Watch what you ask for…” Although Malarkey is certainly getting plenty of attention these days, some is the kind that false prophets have often received: public condemnation.
