Doesn't he ever stop to think if it worked for him it could work for others? Nowhere in the book does he ever contemplate this possibility. Why?
How many toddlers drown in swimming pools every year? Why not at least try to pray them back to life?
A friend of my family died at age 45 from a sudden-death heart attack. He left behind a wife and kids. It might not happen often at that age, but it does happen. Why not pray these people back to life? Blocked arteries can then be treated in various ways.
There are all kinds of situations where this would be helpful. Does Piper consider them all to be better off dead? Why wouldn't he, or his congregation, at least want to try this. If it works, it would certainly prove that what happened to him was real. Of course, there's a risk if they can't duplicate it, it might destroy his story....his dream of heaven? That may be too big a risk for him to take.
Any comments?

You bring up a point made by many...some are non-believers, others are believers, but question, WHY??? For those who are believers, well, they answer, it is the will of God that prevails. For those who are non-believers, well, it sort of gives proof to them that God does not exist.
Only when one dies will they know for certain if an afterlife exists. If you go first, let those left behind know what's going on. I have a deal with a person in Australia...he is a non-believer...if he dies first and heaven exists, he's going to be amazed....he doesn't have to let me know. If I go first, I'll be there to meet him when he arrives. I'll have a carnation in my hat so he can easily find me. We'll just have to wait and see what happens....
He's a very nice gentleman and I look forward to meeting him....he said he'd bring candy...
