thank-you for being obedient and writing it. I could feel the Holy Spirit in
each page.This book made some really important things crystal clear for
me,especially that I have to guard my heart and repent daily to keep it
pure.There are a lot of other parts of the book that are vital information for
my walk with our Father and his wonderful, holy, son Jesus,my savior.Thank-you choo,You

hello. Choo Nam
teacher
I am Gospel Choi
who lives in New York. I am 11 years old and I loved your book.
after
I read your book I became changed as a Christian. I am truly thankful to
our Lord Jesus.
Thank you for writing this beautiful book that changed me as a person and a
Christian. I know that Jesus will be coming soon, and I hope me and my family,
and the whole world can get saved. Before I read this book I didn,t truly take
my Lord as my personal savior. But now I believe. My dad, who also read
your book, got annointings and got healed. My mom also. Me and my sisters
always fight and I know that's a sin.
Please email me
back and help me with my spiritu al growth. Thank you
Hi Choo Thomas,
My mother's friend (she is now a new christian after reading this book) who lent us 'Heaven is so real' has some questions that she wants me to email to you on her behalf.
Please find them as follows:
Why is it that while she reads this book she starts crying and keeps on crying like as if she's a baby?
And also after reading the book she immediately wanted so much to become a christian, as before this she prays to the Goddess of Mercy (a Buddhist God)
She would also like to know how she can receive the Holy Spirit and on which chapter of the book can she refer to.
Please help her with these queries. Thank you so much!

Dear GOD's Chosen Vessel (Mom Choo Nam),
My sister lend me this book whihc I wanted to read so much. The moment I started to read, I could not put in down. My spouse would remark that it seems I forgot I had a family. I visualise your experiences like dancing and
shaking uncontrollably and can feel JESUS my by side every breath I take.
This precious book has brought me to set apart from the world, a stirring that I want to do anything for the LORD at any cost. My spouse said it seems I am in another world and I have seen in quietly takingthis book to read to know why I have become different int he process of reading this book.
I learnt the importance of tithes, worship, obedience and purity. At the final chapters of this book, I creid while reading, I don know why but the anointing
was strong. I am just groaning in the spirit suddenly. Why is this so mom?
Please keep me and my family in prayers to be obedient just you had been to do the end time work.
Love Deborah

Hi
this is Juliette from
In the
latter half of 2004 I gave up the worldly
and secular things for our Lord, and I am trying now to obey Him to
the best of my ability. There was a week last year in which I was utterly
bed-ridden after reading your book. I lay on my back soaked in sweat
and tears, crying for salvation. See, for seven years I did whatever I
wanted to do and I thought badly of Christians. All I could read for that
bed-ridden week was verses from the book of Psalms. I didn't feel worthy enough
to be saved then, neither did I feel spiritually safe in my own home. But after
getting up from my bed, I felt an amazingly sweet inner peace and firmly
decided to live for my Lord. I discovered that Jesus Christ lead to inner contentment
and lifestyle change, even through disagreeable experiences. This was when I
threw away everything I owned, including my secular books, music, and clothes.
As I lugged the black trash bag full of my things toward the trash bin, I
smiled, knowing Christ was much more important than any of my belongings.
I am still
a baby in Christ, and I need spiritual milk
and guidance. I've been praying continually for wisdom and perseverance in
prayer. It says in your book that "persistent prayer is answered because
those who believe actually expect to be healed by Me, so they continually ask
until they receive". This line inspired me to pray more. I ask for your
prayer too, and I was wondering if you'll be writing another book soon.
Our church has been blessed with
Juliette
Dear Choo,
Thank you
for your obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ!
My wife and I have been extremely moved by the experience The Lord has given
you to write. It has moved me to take a good look at my theology. I
have had a very western theology believing that ultimately God would redeam all
mankind for himself. It is not something I have really been very
outspoken about but I realize that this theology is a way for me to feel
comfortable with my lack of zeel to preach the word to the lost. I see
now that it is a very great dissapointment to my Lord and am asking Him for an
anointing zeel for the winning of souls for Christ. It is also my wife
and my great desire to be pleasing to the Lord. To bring Him Glory!
Please
let us know how we can pray for you and your
family. We would also feel blessed if we could help financially in what
the Lord is doing in minestry through you and your family. It won't be
much at first as we tith 10% of our gross and will be supporting believers in
Isreal as we believe is the Lord's will for us.
God bless
you and your family for your
sacrafice to the
Lord and His body.
Love in the spirit Chris and Mary
Hello! I have read your book ( Heaven Is So Real). Through this book I am
encouraged by the Word of God and I am totally renew.
I once was a faithful Christian, used to go to church and give tiths and
offering in church. I am not from a Christian family, but my cousin and I are
the only family members who accepted Christ in our life.
I accepted Christ when
I was 13. I used to have a strong desire towards Him and hunger for His love.
But untill last year, I felt so miserable
and totally
tired to serve the Lord. I stopped going to church, stop praying and stop
reading the Bible. I'm really tired of everything that time even of my studies.
This book is a friend of mine who gave me as a Birthday present. I read this
book and I realized that I will not be able to go to
I have a Roman- Catholic
boy friend. He is very against protestant. He even said that speaking in
tongue is speaking satanic language. It hurts
me a lot. I
don't know what to do. He told me that he believe only in God but he don't
believe in Jesus rose up when Jesus was crucified on the Calvary cross to die
for our sins. A Christian friend of mine advised me to break up with him. When
I decided to talk to him about our relationship, there will be some disturbance
happened. Is this the sign that God don't want me to break up with him??
I really don't know what
to do now. I know that you can see Jesus and even walk with Him. I know that
you are the right person that i
can turned to.
Please help me and tell me what should I do now?
Dear Choo.
i'm one
of million readers of your book Heaven is so
real. i'm sure that so many e-mails you have received by now
because of this precious book. i'm not sure if you could read
korean and if your computer has korean font.
my
english is not that good so i don't know how to
express my feeling.
i'm sure that you wouldn't mind my broken enlish.
i started reading this book yesterday and i read half of the
book.
I'm truely
touched by Our Lord's endless love and
patient. as i turned one page after page i feel more of His grace
and love. i could feel the presence of God ( i work in a small
company, whenever i have some time, i read the book) and sometimes make me
shake a bit, make me cry , smile , laugh sometimes i really want to stand up
and dance like you did in the pond in
thank you
so much to share that precious exprience with
million people. thank you so much for showing me God's love and Grece
and Urgency.
i don't
have anything to offer Him but i want to
give Him whole my heart and the best thing. i'm sure He knows
me better than i do. i want to do something for Him.
so many lost souls are out there and dying without know our
Lord God!!!
i think it's such a anointing book and good book to whom
don't believe in God.
i hope
i could meet Jesus as you did. if i meet
Our Lord, i will dance and sing before Him.
thank you
so much for obeying Him that write this
book.
i really want to tell how important this book to me and many
other poeple.
it's quite
hard to express my heart. thank
you.
God bless you.

friends and family
members and pastors.
I am writing to you for

I have been truly
inspired by your book and what the Lord our God
has done in your life it
would be a great honor for me.
Sincerely
Yvonne
Dear Choo,
I am so
delighted to see (as I finished the last page of your book a couple of minutes
ago) that you gave your email
address to contact
you. From the moment I began the book, I could not put it down.
When I ordered it for myself, I also ordered two more copies for two close
intercessor friends. Then, after reading only a couple of chapters,
I went online and ordered 12 more copies to give out as Christmas
presents!! I gave a copy on
I want you to know that I know by the Spirit of God that you
have an extraordinary relationship with our Lord and that you have had
extraordinary experiences visiting
I would
really love to hear what He is doing with
you since you finished writing the book. I would be so grateful
to hear from you....no one has inspired me more than you have and I thank God
for that and I thank Him for His generous blessings on your life!
With love,

Dear Sister Choo,
I saw the advertisement for Heaven
Is So Real! on
the Elijah List (www.elijahlist.com) on
I feel
a strong sense of responsibility to get this
book into the hands of whoever the Lord leads me to give it to. I've
already bought three for other people (inlcuding my pastors). My one
friend, to whom I gave the book
yesterday has reported to me this evening that she too is stirred deeply in her
heart to follow the Lord with new resolve and consecration. My
husband has accepted Christ as His Savior, but has grown at a slow pace
and is still struggling with the flesh, the world and the devil. After
a very serious and tearful exhortation from me, he is now reading it and I pray
the Lord will awaken in him the same urgency to walk closely with the
Lord as He did in me.
My friend and I live in
We bless
you in the name of the Lord.
Your sister in Christ,
Joanna
Thank you so much for all your help and guidance. I've
bookmarked the verses you've recommended and am reading through the four
gospels now.
I am in
the process of reading Heaven is So Real!
again. This book touched me like no other book has, and I've been an avid
reader for years. As I read Heaven is So Real! it literally felt like
Jesus was talking directly to me (esp. when it says Julie's a special daughter
of His). This was why I was bed-ridden and cried out so hard. I also had
involuntary body spasms, which was a bit surprising and inexplicable. I know
that the impact of Jesus' words in your book has been tremendous and has
completely changed my life.
One problem
I have had since I was young, is the
problem of trust. I was raped at an early age, and haven't been able to heal
that wound in my heart. It's
Thank you
again, and God bless you for
your book. If you don't mind, I'd love to one day visit your church. Thank
you.

Dear Sister Choo
Greeting from Malaysia!
The Lord had impressed my heart to write to
you and also thru confirmation by a dream, i therefore obey His instruction to
write this letter to u.
Being a christian for 25yrs, i hardly read
other books beside bible cos i dont quite like reading unless is inspired by
God and lead by God.
1.
I am chinese educated
2.
God spoke to me in His words that i must listen carefully of His voice
in every commands & do what is right in His eye. I am to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit in
everythings, spiritually minded is peace & life, God is Spirit, I must walk
in the Spirit, so that i will call to be His children.
Early Nov, a friend given us a book 'Heaven
is so real', I never borded to look at it. One morning i was praying to God, how come i have no desire & interest to know more about heaven, however Lord if this is the time
& season to read & know that your time of coming is near, please Lord
move my heart to read. Praise the
Lord, He prompted me to read on 24/11/04, in the past i tried to read some
famous writter book about heaven, but none can go into my mind.
Trully your book inspired by the power of the
Holy Spirit, I was so excited, heaven is so interesting . My spirit just so
bubbling want to read the whole book quickly. Only this book make me so engross because every testamonies
in these book came from God, it gives me peace & life, Amen!
I want to share to encourage you after
reading this book, i felt a very strong desire & passion to serve God more
earnestly in my heart, i want to reach out to more lost soul in this world
& help peoples come out from the power of darkness.
Thru this book, i saw the love, caring,
kindness, mercy & the gentleness of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is so intimatecy to His children.
In the church, christian should love one
another, at home, husband should love the wife like Jesus way but church/men
failed God cos they have conformed & corrupted by the things of the world
'carnally minded' that's why strike, contention, war, self-seeking every where.
James 3:13-17
After reading this book, i am not afraid to
serve God despite persecution, rejection, despise & hurt especially my own
countrymen do not believe what the Spirit that work in me, i will continue to
obey the Lord cos i have a hope/reward in heaven. The book had changed my
attitude, i will not bother how people look at me when i move & lead by the
Holy Spirit.
As
i was reading about your personal walk with the Lord, it sounds so familiar to
me because we serve the same God, same Spirit halleluya! Sister, i was humiliated in the church
before when God moved my Spirit that i must release the words from my mouth
about His truth but church dont
like to listen to the truth. As a servant we prepare to suffer like Jesus as
what He had sufferred on earth take up the cross & follow Him. I Praise God u have die to self, ready
for
the endtime work in this earth. God had
chosen you according to 1 Cor 1:27 & 1 Pet 3:7 women is weaken then men,
your faith is like a child, without faith we cannot please our Father in
heaven. God had hidden 7000 prophets for the last day ministry, they are
unpopular, no fame, no position, not highly educated, God is great! His way is
higher beyond man imagination. The chosen one got to go thru journey of
sufferring, persecution, hardship & pain God train us to walk by faith and
not by sight. Most important is the HEART/virtue to be like JESUS. The righteous prayer is powerful &
effective.
Sister, please uphold me & my family in
your prayer as when the Spirit led you.
God bless u & your family.
Love,
Christina
Sister in Christ
Dear Sis. Choo,
I do not know how to express my sincere gratitude and thanks for this wonderful book, Heaven is so Real! You really wakes me up from my slumberland which I never aware that it is so near to the opening pit of hell! You make me repent and ask for forgiveness each time when I read Jesus's warning and reminder to all the unfaithful and disobedient Christians. Thank you, Sis. Choo! I really envy you with your amazing relationship with our dear Lord Jesus Christ. You really deserve such special love, attention and rewards from our dear Lord because you are the most obedient, pure hearted and loving person that I've ever known. God truly blesses you abundantly, sister.
How I really wish and pray hard to see our dear Lord like you do. When you meet our dear Lord again in prayer, please tell Him I REALLY, TRULY LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. I'm so longing to be with Him forever in Heaven. Can you please tell Him I'm really sorry for hurting Him so much with my disobedient. From now onwards, I am saving up all my expenses to give away His books to all my friends and loved ones. Also, I will obediently pay full tithes and offering to my church ministry every month from this month onwards. Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy and your patience to me.
And to you dear sister, thank you so much for obediently being used by our Lord to write out this wonder book. I LOVE U!
With big hugs and kisses,
Sharon

dear
choo thomas, i loved ur book a lot. i'm sure lots hav told u tis but i mean my
life has changed by your powerful book. i have the greatest passion and
love 4 Jesus and i'll die 4 Him at any cost. i feel so sad 4
the unsaved but i'll uphold them in prayer n i know God will surely hear me.
i'm jealous of ur experiance but i know God will use me in his own way. i can't
wait 4 God 2 come back but i guess u can sort of guess when that will be. u
mentioned in ur book dat ur grandchild was preety grown up. was she in her teen
life or was she an adult? please answer this question..........sometimes i
wonder if God is really talking to me or is my own minds imagination. but i
feel so loved when that soft calm voice comes in my head or heart i don't know.
i wish i was given a chance to suffer a most terrible death for Jesus but i
wonder if i'll ever b given a chance to do so. God is just too kind 2 me u know
and sometimes i wonder i really don't deserve such great love from Him.
He HAS BLESSED me so much that i wanna repay Him with so much more than i can
give. i so hope to have a mansion in heaven with my name on it. not for
the sake of having a luxurius mansion at all but because those who get to live
there are very special children of God. i so want 2 be a special little thing
for Him. what should i do to be special Choo THOMAS? ITS SURELY GREAT right
getting to experience so much of Jesus. please answer these small
questions,PLEASE.......they may seem small and dumb but it means a lot to one
such as i who is so hungry to please the Lord in all i do. I love u very
much and pray that u will continually be blessed. may god bless u even more for
replying my long and lengthy message. soli but i just let the spirit within me
to pour out everthing to my very own Daddy's special servant, Choo Nam Thomas.
i await God with every heartbeat i have. we are precious 2 God and that's
the most beatiful thing in this life isn't it? my name is glenna,13,Malaysia by
the way. lots of love ,Glenna.

What is in Heaven…..only big mansions in a city of gold….could it exciting up there? Or is God going to be sitting on His throne all the time…the whole day with Jesus on His right hand and we standing in a multitude singing praises 24, 7, 365?! Is every Christian going to enter the kingdom of Heaven? Are these some of your questions?
I’ve
always thought that there’s more to heaven than the above. I’ve dreamed of a
finer relationships up there; coming face-to-face with God, walking, talking
and laughing with Jesus in person and perhaps having a tête à tete (private
discussions) with some of the giants of faith in the bible as well as great
missionaries and evengelists from our time! In fact I have also dreamed of the
possibility of continuing my hobbies like strolling, painting and watching
animals eg. fish swimming!! when I’m back at God’s paradise where the nature’s
beauty far exceeds what we have here on earth. Oh wow!
Well in this book, Choo didn’t just dream of these things but she was “taken” to Heaven itself to experience them …..with the Lord (!) so that she can share it with us. First, I must admit I was a bit dubious even as I took up the book to read through the preface where Choo explained the process of how Jesus visited her and took her to heaven. I have heard of how wonderful this book is from a handful of good friends. So I said a brief prayer asking God to journey with me through this book (which, I’m now convinced is indeed one of His endtime projects), trusting that if it is really from Him, He’ll of course give true, personal and useful revelations to readers like myself. Hmm…God has promised that everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
This book itself emphasizes to me repeatedly of how great is God’s grace and mercy to us man. Jesus loves me and you so much that He’s willing to shed His blood on the cross despite the terrible suffering and public humiliation so that we can be reconciled to God. Now He is again, I believed, reaching out to us through this book. He is reminding the Christians of His love for them by the wonderful things he has prepared for them in the eternal kingdom. Do you know that it’s all completed and done?! As I flipped the pages I could feel His urgency, His eagerness to come to bring us back. I guess the only thing that’s delaying Him is us. Should He come now, a great multitude will not be able to enter into the eternal kingdom to be with Him!
First of all, His standard of entrance to heaven is purity and obedience. Seems so easy right….to just say and spell it. It’s totally a different story when we have to live out. This is why I believe Jesus is using this book to highlight His statuettes for us to lead a godly life. To further reinforce this point to me after I finished reading, it was during the KBM service I noticed we were singing Matt 7:21 again and again; “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven….”(I challenge you to look up the rest of the verse NOW and let it serve as a reminder of how we should respond to God, make our life count so that we know where we will spend eternity). For me personally, I hear the Lord gently reminding me to “Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matt 7:13-14) He wants all His children to be saved and be in His glorious presence but at the end of the day, we need to know that the choice is in our hands. With the freewill He has given us, we need to choose to be on His side.
Next is the issue of leading others to Christ. To be excited to share with others the hope of the Gospel. I bet this really makes up the other half of Matt 7:21 [which I still challenge you to look up! If you know Matthew’s book even so so, you’ll know it’s not the main verse on the Great Commission ;-) ]. “Saving lives” is the heartbeat of God, a rhythm we should be marching in tune too as we go about our daily lives. In this area, I have found even myself having made lots of lame excuses and not testify to people when opportunities presented themselves. I’m now challenging myself with the vision of hell from this book when I start to feel shy or afraid to share. I guess as when we love someone we’ll do all we can to make them happy. It’s the same with our Father, if we truly love God as how we sing each time, we’ll challenge ourselves to do His will, and guess what? As we strive to please Him, He’ll be there along the way to cheer us on, and that’s not all, He’ll also equip us with necessaries for with Him nothing is impossible! Remember Moses?!
I’m really thankful for the bold step Choo took to write and publish this book. It’s her sheer leap of faith that is not only going to help many come to know Christ but revive many more Christians around the world. For Choo, I would sum her in two words, OBEDIENT and PURE in heart, though that wouldn’t even do enough justice. God could really use her to write such a book as this because of her total faith and trust in the Lord. As I went through the pages, I could see how she struggled with her self-worth and faith, like most of us. Yet time and time again, she allows God to take over the situations. She just followed in obedience and love for Him.
It’s truly wonderful too to see the gradual intimacy Choo developed with Jesus. Do take note of the change of endearments use at the beginning (My precious daughter) and towards the end of the book (My seetheart). It’s so comforting to know that we have more than a King with us in this God - He is such a close and personal Father, Brother and Friend. He loves us far more than we deserve. So is it going to be the next book on your reading list? Perhaps pass it to some friends and relatives, too after that….well, I have and am..!! May you have enjoy this love letter from Jesus.
Greetings in the sweet name of our Lord Jesus
Christ!
I have just completed reading your book "Heaven is so real" today and I punctuated your last statement with a big AMEN (this was omitted in your book). I concur with all the contents of your book with much rejoicing and I would like to share the following thoughts and experiences of mine with you :-
1) VISION OF JESUS
On Friday evening of 11th March 1977, I received Jesus into my life in a Christian Fellowship (England) with both my hands lifted up and a vision of Jesus standing within 3 feet in front of me. Although Jesus was that close to me, I somehow could not see the features of His face just like your experiences as mentioned in your book.
2)
VISION OF BEACH
Before I had the vision of Jesus standing in front of me, I had a preliminary vision of a beautiful beach scene where Jesus was standing at a distant. I have never understood the meaning or significance of this vision until I read your book.
3) BODY MANIFESTATIONS
Although I did not have the many extreme body manifestations experienced by you, I did experienced various hand movements and manifestations which are in some ways identical to yours. On my first Good Friday evening in 1977, the Lord visited me in my room and used my finger to show to me many Bible scriptures in the New Testament.
4) END TIME PREACHING
On
that Good Friday evening in 1977, He spoke very clearly that He is coming
very soon. Since
then, I have been preaching on His Second Coming. I sincerely and
whole-heartedly believe His Second Coming will be during my lifetime and now,
it got to be very, very soon.
Thank you for sharing your testimonies and God bless you richly in your End Time Ministry.
Best regards in Christ.
James
I am almost done with this book
and have only been able to put it down when I've been too tired to read.
Choo Thomas presents a basic message in her book beyond the amazing things she
sees with Jesus: Follow God with all your heart and obey Him and His
commandments. God's place is prepared for us, but WE have to be ready for it.
Our time is short.
We must be obedient servants to our Lord in this life and with a much greater
promise of an amazing life to come that makes me long for heaven even more.
The things Choo says in this book makes me believe that she is either a crazy,
diabolical person, or, she saw Jesus. If she were a false prophet like one
reviewer alluded to, then she would drive me away from Jesus, not make me want
to love Him even more.
I do not know if Choo reads these or not, but Choo, if you happen to see Jesus
again, tell Him I love Him. I am not a perfect person by any means, but I do
know I love Him.
Thank you for such a wonderful book. I pray that every word in it is true and
that the Lord DID visit you like you say. I pray we all get to see this first
hand real soon.
David
I don't believe I've ever read a more important Christian
book, other than the Bible. The Lord Jesus is coming soon, as evidenced by the
preparations He's made in Heaven, and what he has revealed to the writer.
By the Love and Grace of God, the Lord Jesus is giving all people (Christian
and un-believers) a forewarning to be prepared, along with a wonderful
description of what eternal life will be like with Him in Heaven.
I pray that those who read the book will share in the urgency to be "born
again" by repenting of their sins and receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord
and Savior, just like the Bible says in Romans 10:9-10, so that they too shall
be saved. The free gift of Salvation and a relationship with Jesus is available
to everyone that simply asks.

"Heaven Is So
Real!" - by Pastor Byeon of BigFaith Church in Ulsan
First of
all, the fact that Dr. Cho of the Yoido Full Gospel Church has translated the
book "Heaven Is So Real!" by Choo Thomas is something extraordinary.
Who is Dr. Cho?
Does he have time for translating books? Just the fact that someone like him
reading this book for seven times and translating itself may be considered as a
miracle. (I've heard from a pastor of the Yoido Church that Dr Cho has read the
book for 7 times)

on
Dr. Cho's pro-active recommendation, this book has become an
all-korean-Christianity's "early best-seller". The word "early
best-seller" was found because of this book. I doubt that this record will
be broken.
Now, let's
talk about this book. When I read sister Choo's book, I was shocked and
challenged not necessarily because of her visits to heaven but because of the
witness of her christian life. Her confession that she has not willingly chosen
to make Jesus' heart ache and that she was thinking day and night about Jesus
were shock itself. This was my goal but not my life.
It's not
about her witness of heaven. Who could tell this kind of awesome testimony? I'm
too short to be mentioned. It truly was shocking. I felt shame at myself and both
at her faith and her spiritual state. As for me, she was like a spiritual giant
I could never copy or follow. I thought, 'That's why Dr. Cho has translated
this book!'.
Next, in
some circles there grow discussions on whether this book to be biblical or not.
Well, maybe these people should get a life. Can't you calculate how much profit
this book can bring to the kingdom of God?!
Let me tell
you what I think. I think that this book has truly done great things that
thousands of theologians and preachers were not capable of and it still does.
Do you know
why? Jesus was worried and angry because in counties where Jesus has shown most
of His powers took no repentance place. Jesus preached the most at Korazin,
Bethsaida and Capernaum and He's done a lot of miracles. However, because
people didn't repent, all the things Jesus has done raised their penalty.
Of course by
then the problem were the people whose heart was selfish and hard.
But today,
we preachers have the problems. When you listen to sermons today, you might
want to ask whether preachers are interested in asking people to repent and
whether they truly want to lead the people to heaven.
Yet the book
is not just a book of theory. It also distinguishes from other heaven visits
that fill up curiosities. This book make people repent. This book changes
people. Through this book lots of pastors and saints all over the place repent,
change and become new people. And the repentance and changes won't cease.
Well then,
is there anything that makes the Lord happier? Anything which is more
imporatant? The bible tells that once a soul repents heaven celebrates and it
brings great joy before God and the angels. In this sense, this book wipes the
tears from the Lord, this book makes the Lord smile.
Listen carefully.
Jesus himself said that only he who does the will of the father will enter the
kingdom of heaven.(matthew 7,21) Peter explained the reason of why Jesus'
second coming being postponed in 2Peter 3,8-9, not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance.
But so many
people who go to church live not by the word of God and break the laws. So many
Christians forget about the importance of repentance and live a sinful life
despite of them saying that they believe. They are heading to hell.
Will these
kind of people avoid the downfall because you taught them one more bible verse?
No. It's not about knowledge. It's about repentance. This book make people to
repent.
Even at this
moment, lots of people are moving away from sins and truly fear God after
reading this book. So people on the way hell are joining the way towards
heaven.
But should
we criticise this book as we serve the Lord? No. We should shout "Hallelujah" and praise God. Yes, indeed. This book is not to criticise
but to praise the Lord with a "Hallelujah".
At the end,
I'm saying as a pastor. You still haven't read this book? Read. Please read.
This book is better than 100 sermons of us pastors. This book will lighten your
sight to see the narrow path to heaven and will change your eternal destiny.
Hallelujah!
Be glory to the Lord! Amen. Amen!!!

Renewal Lutheran Church (English language service)
Heaven Is So Real has opened the eyes of my heart and mind to see much more clearly and to realize deeply about heaven which has already been prepared and is waiting for all of us.
My
experience while I was reading and at the same time translating this book
was really
amazing. During
translating this book which took about 3 months, I woke up nearly at 5.00 every
morning and immediately sat down in front of my son’s computer for 2 hours
as I
had to be ready for work. Then, if
there were no prayer meetings or any other church activities in the evening, I
continued translating this book till 10.00 at night.
How beautiful and such a blessing for me to read, describe and know more deeply of His words through the journeys with Him. Like Sister Choo Thomas, I cried many times, rejoicing and praising the Lord as if He spoke to me personally, many times His words hit me and caused me to cry tears of marvel for He knows 100% who I am inside out.
In fact, it is an honor for me because the Lord had chosen me to translate His book and to join in the sharing of His salvation message to the unsaved as well as to those who called themselves as ‘Christians’, but, in actual fact, they do not know Jesus personally.
I agree with Rev. David Yonggi Cho that we have to read with an open heart participate in enjoying the wonderful experiences of Sister Choo Thomas about heaven. If this book has stirred my heart and mind while reading it, I am sure the same will be experienced by every reader of this book.
Heaven Is So Real has really opened all my heart and mind of how critical every second of our lives are, because the Lord warns us continually that His second coming is very near and He wants His children to be prepared.
If this book has encouraged and motivated me to serve the Lord in sharing the gospel of salvation to the lost especially our loved ones, friends and neighbors, I believe the same impact will happen in the lives of other concerned Christians.
Let all of us always be reminded that Jesus is coming soon and Heaven Is So Real for His obedient children.
All honor and glory only to our Lord, Jesus.
In His love,

Dear Mrs. Thomas,
I
praise God for
using you to write His book, 'Heaven Is So Real!' I have never been
impacted by a book by a Christian writer, as I have by this one. The book
has an anointing on it, which I feel as I read it.
I
have been a
Christian for a long time. The Lord God Almighty had allowed His
wonderful gifts to flow in my life at one time. Nevertheless, I backslid,
wanting what the world had and also what God had to offer.
Even
though I am a Christian, I have not been fully walking according to God's
word. I was given
'just a taste of what hell is like;' which is the statement that the Holy
Spirit imparted to me a while ago, when I was in praying. I cannot
describe the darkness that I saw, nor the fear that I felt. There
is
just nothing to compare it to.
I
also had a dream
about a year ago, where I knew in the dream that Jesus had returned, and I
missed Him. The rapture had occurred, and I was left here on earth.
God has been warning me about sitting on both sides of the fence. I am so
thankful to Jesus for allowing me to have another chance to live properly
before Him. This chance came through 'Heaven Is So Real!
God
bless you for
being so obedient to Jesus. A lot of people will be saved as a result.
I am buying copies
of the book, and giving them away.
God bless you and
your husband Mrs. Choo.

Dear Choo Nam,
Greetings to you my dear sister in the wonderful and glorious name of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
My name is Rev. Jim. I and my wife Doris are from Canada and have been serving
the Lord in Africa since 1969. We are presently in Canada on furlough but will
return to Malawi, as soon as the Lord allows. I am in fact sending you this
email from Malawi where I have returned for a few weeks of ministry and by the
26th will be back in Canada.
Why this email? Well just before I left for this trip, my son who lives in Vancouver, BC., sent me your book and I brought it with me and have just finished reading it and I just had to email you before I even got back to Canada.
Sister I just want to thank you so much for your response to the Lord, though you honestly shared the process of your hesitations about why the Lord would bless you in such a way. I just loved the book so very very much and will go through it again for there are so many powerful things to be learned from it. Especially in the last four years the Lord has been working also in my life in preparing me for specific ministry in these last days. As you were describing the things about heaven I just found myself going along with you and letting your eyes catch things that I missed but just enjoying in some way all over again, the things the Lord showed me for what I had to learn.
My sister I confess envy at the extent of the visitations and things you saw. Certainly you have made Heaven so much more real to me than ever before. I doubt that there is another book available that equals it, but it was never birthed to do that. It is the many things the Lord said about the church and the last days that gripped my attention, and the Spirit of God has even affected my messages in a greater way since reading your book. Hardly four hours have passed since I spoke at a church here and made references to things said in the book, and people are asking how they can get their hands on it.
The Lord told you that the book would affect many peoples lives and I can witness that as I see the hunger of people to get the book. I guess the one part is that the Lord has changed me so much that He can now be just what He wants to be through me. These past few weeks I have watched the Lord amaze us as He walked among us and manifested His power in so many ways. I have never seen anything like it before in my ministry and I am excited to say the least. Many prophetic words have been spoke about our ministry and I am now seeing the fulfilment of it.
So I just want to say thank you so much for allowing the Lord to select you and prepare you for His ministry. I understand why He says you are special, because you respond just the way He wants. The other day, as the morning began the Lord said to me, 'remember to walk in my presence; ignore the things of the flesh and walk in the secret place.' Oh, what a safe place to be; hidden with Him so that absolutely nothing causes us to deviate from the exactness of His leading. So fly my dear sister, you and your husband. Don't let anything stop you.
If the Lord should ever cause our paths to cross, I for one will count it a
privilege to meet you, and if that happens I hope the Lord will allow me time
to chat with you for a while. I weep a lot when I sense the presence of the
Lord and I am sure that would happen as I would hear you talk about our
precious Lord and some of the things you experienced. You'd probably talk and I
would just weep, and love every minute of the experience.
Should you create a Web Site I would appreciate the address as if you should be
in Canada and we are near, we would certainly come to hear you.
May the Lord bless you and totally fulfil all that He spoke to you and even
more.
Thankfully & prayerfully yours,
Jim
Living Testimony and Vision. - ''Heaven is so Real '', June 7th , 2004.
Reviewer--Pastor Kenneth .C. Emeka. [from Nigeria and presently a missionary in South Korea.]
I thank God for the great relief he has given in these last days by giving us the book of revelation written by the Apostle John. I also thank Choo Thomas for her obedience and faithfulness in following the Lord. I learned of the book through Pastor David Yonggi Cho of Yoido Full Gospel Church. He preached about it and told his congregation to read it.
As a pastor, I received the book 'Heaven is so Real’ as a gift from Elder James Dunnet. The book changed my life and gave me a new hope and a new beginning, plus visions for the future. After I finished the book for the first time, the Lord started speaking to me in the night by showing me many visions which I can not mention all of them.
On the 6th of May, 2004, the Lord told me that many Churches will not be raptured. In that vision, I started to weep bitterly that I have no strength to cry again. Since then I have started non stop prayers for all the churches all over the world. I believe that the Lord is rebuking us as he told the Laodicean Church to wake up in the book of [Rev--3. 14 -22 .]
Another vision the Lord showed me is the book title 'Heaven is so Real 'written on millions of white papers and the testimonies of people flying from the computer into the air. Also after I read the book the second time the Lord told me to read the book of Revelation chapter 21. I want to tell the whole world, especially Christians, to take this book very important and obey the Lord so that they will see His face, because I saw the vision in which the Lord said that there is no time left.
Since I saw all these vision I preach about this book and the Lords coming to every one I meet. In South Korea, ‘Heaven is so Real’ has changed thousands of people because I can see in the alter call of Yoido Full Gospel Church people trooping in for Jesus, and also in tithes and offerings besides. ‘Heaven is so Real’ is the highest and best selling in South Korea.
Thank you Jesus and to you Choo Thomas for your sacrificial and humble obedience to the Lord Jesus. To God be the glory.

As a pastor, prison chaplain, and Pentecostal, I approached this work with a mixture of skepticism and anticipation. I looked for signs of true inspiration, and yet was alert for manipulation and opinion-masked-as-revelation. I read in this "double-minded" manner for fifty pages or so, and then tumbled upon a section that came through to me with such Holy Ghost anointing that I cast aside my doubts and prayed, "Lord, speak to me through this last day revelation!"
The passage contained a vision of the pit of hell. Many have claimed such visions, but never have I read such a frank, heart-wrending description. Thomas tells of seeing her own beloved mother in that pit! I was dumbfounded, and humbled. I saw the broken heart of God, and was awakened to the urgency of the time in which we live.
The honesty and pain of this glimpse into hades so gripped me that I shared it this past Sunday three times. First, with my adult Sunday School class, then with a group of male prisoners, and finally with a group of female inmates. In each case, as I read of this mother in hell, there were gasps. Usually, when ministers read from the pulpit, we limit ourselves to a short paragraph. I read nearly two pages of her book, and was met with silence and amazement. Each time I read, I felt such an anointing.
I dare not rate this book on its style, plot, or any other such "objective" standards. This book claims to be an account of visions from God. I believe it is and encourage believers see what God says about heaven, hell, the importance of our witness, and of holy living in these last days.
Thank you Choo Thomas for your sacrificial and humble obedience to an ext
