Synopsis

On the eve of the tenth anniversary of his oldest son's death, doctors told Todd Gillert that his autistic son, David, was not expected to live because a rare condition caused his skin to separate from his body. As he helplessly watched a helicopter carry his son into the cold night sky, Todd feared he would never see him alive again.

In the quiet place between life and death (a special place between heaven and earth), David experienced amazing beauty in a glorious garden. In this place, his earthly dis- ability completely vanished. Todd shares the amazing stories of angelic encounters David had in a realm where pain and suffering are replaced by beauty and contentment.

David experienced a personal epiphany and saw the wonders of what awaits the occu- pants of heaven. His life was forever changed as his soul connected with the reality of being God's beloved child. God provided a second chance from heaven as He used this very unexpected event to redeem the lives of both a father and a son.

"A Second Chance from Heaven is fascinating, well written, and very moving. Scriptures and theology are interwoven in and through the story to answer the ques- tions of life." --Douglas Schmidt, Senior Pastor, Woodside Bible Church

"A Second Chance from Heaven is the account of a miracle with a message of in- spiration, hope, love, and the awesomeness of a Savior who is intricately involved in our lives. Todd Gillert understands grief and gratitude on a level that many people may never comprehend with a depth that only comes from experience and God- given inspiration." --Douglas W. Carpenter, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist, Insight Counseling Services
