A Vision from Heaven

By Joan Defelippo

This book is a true account of a pre-death vision from heaven, non-ordinary reality of a visionary encounter. This book is meant to be uplifting, candid, and down to earth, along with my personal and spiritual journey. What I have witnessed was a miracle, a blessing that occurred on Corpus Christi.
