About Choo Thomas - Author of "Heaven is so Real"

When I first read "Heaven is So Real," I did not know exactly how to feel about it, or how I should feel about it. I could hardly put the book down as I read, and I spent a lot of time thinking about the content. Then finally, I decided to write a review of the book, and I had to reread parts of it and try to get a grip on the most intriguing sections.

In all of my planning, I had almost forgotten about the legality of my writing a review of "Heaven is So Real." It did seem 'real,' and I was determined to write the review. I noticed on the inside of the book there was an email address for Choo Thomas, So, I soon had an email on the way to ask if it would be okay with her and her publisher if I wrote a review of the book that would be published on a website.

After about a week went by, I received an email from Choo Thomas saying she would be very happy to have me write a review of "Heaven Is So Real." She also told me the Lord had told her He wanted as many people as possible throughout the whole world to read the book. He called it His book, and He told her everything to put into the book. She was so dedicated to pleasing Him, and wrote many notes of what he told her, and also what He showed her.

Somehow the email message from Choo Thomas disappeared from my computer, and I had not printed it out. I sent another email asking if she would send the email again if she had it still in her sent mail. What a surprise when a sizeable package arrived with a DVD about the book, "Heaven Is So Real," and two CD's of "23 Minutes In Hell," by Bill Wiese. Wiese shares his incredible experience of Hell, and what Jesus revealed to him about that place. But that's another story.

After watching the DVD, I definitely believe the story Choo Thomas told in the book, "Heaven Is So Real." I put the DVD into my disk drive, and soon there stood Choo Thomas on my computer screen talking about her experiences she wrote about in the book. Her words were also printed below her photo. In addition to the audio, there was a clear picture of Choo. She talked a lot about how changing to her spiritual body was often exhausting, and how she looked forward to it, as that was when Jesus was near her and she would soon see Him. It was amazing that when she was in her spiritual body, she looked exactly as she did as a teenager. That tells me that no matter how old we are when we die, we will have a new body and look much younger. That will be our spiritual body. Remember that old hymn, "A Land Where We'll Never Grow Old?" After watching the DVD, I strongly believe the story Choo Thomas told in the book.

I noticed that as Choo Thomas talked, she seemed to sway back and forth, side-to-side. Then she explained why she did this: She said this was because she would soon be in her spiritual body, and her stomach would get extremely tight - she would not feel right, and would be unable to continue her description. Choo does not look a bit old now, and she seemed to be a compassionate and caring person, with a voice that gave me the feeling that she was truly trying to please her Lord Jesus in every way she could. It was kind of like His love for His children was contagious, and they soon fell in love with Him.

Often, Choo Thomas would tell of how she would dance, and the Lord would sit on a rock or whatever was available and watch her. He seemed to enjoy watching her in her happiness.

The things Choo Thomas saw were beautiful, and there were some scenes that were not beautiful. She did get a glimpse of Hell also, and the deep, dark pit. At one point, she saw her mother and father, a nephew and a few others she knew. She said she cried and cried. The Lord told her this was a good lesson for her to convey to others.

Every time Jesus took her to Heaven, He first brought her to an earthly beach. They walked up a hill, and soon they were at Heaven's door. A large white gate stood before a beautiful white building. This is where Choo was escorted inside by an angel who showed her where to change into a white robe.

On her 17th trip to Heaven (her last), Choo cried, saying "I will never experience the joy and peace I had with Him." Then, soon they were back on the earthly beach. After her last visit to Heaven, Jesus promised Choo He would bring her to the beach every Monday. When He first came, she said "He shake me for 30 minutes, then I was in my spiritual body." Her next statement told us 'He talked, I listened.'

In her last comments, Choo Thomas cautioned us to never receive the Mark of the Beast, 666, because if you do, you will spend eternity in Hell. This will happen during the Great Tribulation, after all Christians (Saints) will have been raptured and gone to Heaven with the Lord Jesus. Those who are left behind will experience the Great Tribulation on earth. If those on earth do not take the mark of the beast, they will be beheaded.
