BACK COVER REVIEW - Flight to Heaven: A Plane Crash... A Lone Survivor... A Journey to Heaven - and Back by Capt. Dale Black and Ken Gire


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.

Capt. Dale Black is a retired airline pilot who dedicated his career to improving aviation safety. He has flown for over 40 years with more than 17,000 hours in a variety of commercial jets. Dale is still an active aviator and is co-owner of a real estate company. He has also been a Bible teacher, a television and radio show host, evangelist, and volunteer missionary pilot in over 50 countries. Dale and his wife, Paula, are parents of two grown children and live in Southern California.

Back Cover Review
“Some would say I have lived my dream. I see it a little differently. I did not so much live my own dream as I lived the dream God had when He dreamed of me.”
- Capt. Dale Black in Flight to Heaven

Flight To Heaven is the story of how the course of Captain Dale Black’s life was changed forever as a young man when he saw Heaven. This book didn’t contain as much of what he saw in Heaven as I hoped, but it explained in profound detail what his life was like before his experience and how dramatically different it was afterwards. The difference was very clear.

I found myself in tears on several occasions reading Flight to Heaven. Capt. Dale Black’s testimony fit perfectly with what I feel the Lord is teaching me at this stage in my life – about His Love and how genuinely experiencing it daily, moment-by-moment, can transform my life and make a huge difference in the way that I live - and love - those around me.
