Just over one hundred fifty years ago, in Berlin, New York, twenty-five year old Marietta Davis suddenly fell into an unconscious state, from which neither family nor physician could arouse her. When she finally regained consciousness, she described with almost supernatural perception how angels had escorted her spirit to heaven and hell.

Her vision made her the talk of her community and a legend for generations to come.

Nine Days in Heaven brings the story of Marietta Davis to a new generation of readers. The nineteenth-century language of the original has been updated for readability, but the detailed portrayal of her vision remains intact.

• Journey with Marietta to the shimmering reaches of Paradise, where the redeemed enjoy the beauties of the new creation.
• Observe children who died on earth as they are taught the mysteries of God in infants heaven.
• Grieve at the plight of the lost as they suffer the wages of sin.

Supported by biblical references and practical observations, Nine Days n Heaven is more than the fanciful creation of a young womans imagination. It is a travel guide for the life to come.

Endorsements

About eleven months ago we lost our grandson unexpectedly; he was just a few days old. I want to sincerely thank both of you for taking the time and the painstaking effort to rewrite the book that was so thoughtfully given to you. I read Nine Days in Heaven within weeks of our loss and was greatly comforted, and I read the parts pertaining to the infant paradise over and over again. Thank you again for bringing this vision back into circulation. And thank you to my friends who followed the promptings of God to pas it on to me. I have since purchased several copies of this book and have given a copy to anyone who showed an interest in reading it.

LL, Queensland, Australia

After trying to conceive for about eight years, a couple eventually had a baby boy. Tragically, when the boy was about seven years old, he died of cancer. The parents were unable to have more children and were devastated. The father contemplated suicide, thinking that in this way he would see his son again. Someone gave them a copy of this book, which helped them enormously, and the father was able to overcome his suicidal thoughts.
