I can’t wait to share my new 30-day devotional book with you! Since I died and Jesus brought me back to life, I have been keeping a journal to write down the lessons God is teaching me. Dying really has changed how I am living, and I am so grateful for a much more Heavenly perspective. I posted a little video with my thoughts about today’s book release. I hope you will take a moment to watch it, and continue to keep me in prayer.
I am honest in my journal and my devotional. I have learned a lot since my death, but I know I have so much more to learn. It is my deepest hope that sharing my journal/devotional will help you in your journey of faith in this fallen world.
I describe what it was like in Heaven, and to see Jesus face to face. I also share about life struggles, the kind we all share, and how I am seeing life differently, learning to follow Jesus more closely.
I really believe God gave me the insights in “Heaven… It’s Real…How Dying Changes Living” to be a source of hope and encouragement to you. It has been a rough couple of years for everyone, and the reality of Heaven and Jesus is needed now more than ever.
May our Lord bless, strengthen, and encourage you,
Tina Marie Hines

P.S. It feels a little weird charging for this devotional. We are doing it so that, God willing, we can be freed up for full time ministry. Please join with us in this prayer, as it is our heart’s desire for God to use us completely!

Wow, have we been blessed! This past weekend the Christian Broadcasting Network came to Phoenix to film a feature story about how Jesus miraculously brought me back to life and how it has changed myself and my family. What an adventure! First a medical researcher combed through all of my medical records, and interviewed firefighters, paramedics, doctors and nurses to make sure that I was truly dead for twenty-seven minutes. Once we passed that test, the producer invited all of those folks to join us in telling the story. That is just what we did, and everyone is so excited – the producer says she has not EVER been this excited since she began her career as a producer!
We know it is God ordained and His timing is perfect. We believe it will air in February to an audience of several million. We also were able to talk about the devotional, and hope it will be used of God in a mighty way! Please join us in prayer for this Good News of the reality of Heaven and Jesus to go out far and wide, encouraging and strengthening believers. Please also pray God will use it to bring those that don’t know Him out of the darkness and into His marvelous light.
How Dying Changes Living
Day 1 – Perspective
God…..
I will always choose the truth of Your Word and trust that You are at work in my life. In prayer, Jesus spoke to me, “How could you not, Tina? When I touched your heart after it had stopped beating for 27 minutes, it immediately was restored. I can do all things if they are according to My plans.”
I was without sign of life – no heartbeat, no breath. No reason for my family to believe for a miracle after twenty-seven minutes. Despairing, without hope, overcome by grief. And in an instant, it all changed with one touch from the Savior.
I pray I will be faithful in choosing to look through His eyes at life rather than through my own eyes. After dying and returning to life, I know it doesn’t matter how impossible the situation seems to be. God is much more real, all-powerful, and truly sovereign than earthly eyes can comprehend. He WILL accomplish His plans and purposes.
Proverbs 2: 1-8 ESV
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints.
