Heaven visitations are all the rage today. A retelling of the sights, sounds, and smells of a supposed trip to Heaven can land an author at the top of the bestseller list and produce enough speaking engagements, morning television appearances, news segments, and interviews on Christian TV and radio to keep him at the top of the bestseller list for quite some time.

In this book, author and pastor Jim Osman of Kootenai Community Church examines the claims of Heaven Tourists: Don Piper (90 Minutes in Heaven), Colton and Todd Burpo (Heaven Is for Real) and Eben Alexander (Proof of Heaven). Pastor Osman offers a critical theological critique of their writings and media appearances, comparing their claims to Scripture and to each other. He also examines their stories for internal consistency. He shows that these “eye-witness” testimonies of Heaven are not only self-contradictory, but more importantly, they contradict Scripture.

Pastor Osman calls upon faithful Christians everywhere to reject these cleverly devised fables and affirm their commitment to the sufficiency of Scripture as God’s infallible and final revelation. This book will equip you to expose the errors of the Heaven Tourism industry and to defend the truth of Scripture. By providing critical theological reviews of these three bestsellers, this book helps expose the errors made by ALL those who claim to have visited Heaven.

“In Truth Or Territory, Jim Osman has done the church a great service. He takes the confusing theological cauldron brewed by modern spiritual warfare “experts” and shatters it against God’s Word. With precision and clarity he demonstrates that true spiritual warfare is not a war fought with mantras and incantations but rather with biblical truth. Truth Or Territory will be of great benefit to the professor, pastor, and layman alike. A work like this is sorely needed in the body of Christ today and it is my prayer that your obedient walk with our King will be both enriched and simplified by its reading. Jim is a personal friend of mine and one for whom I have the utmost respect as a pastor, theologian, husband, father, and disciple of our Lord. I commend this resource to you with great joy and enthusiasm.”
