"The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven" is a book co-authored by Alex Malarkey and Kevin Malarkey. It tells the story of Alex, a young boy who suffered a severe injury in a car accident and claimed to have experienced a near-death experience. In the book, he describes his journey to heaven and the insights he gained during that time. The book gained significant attention for its portrayal of the afterlife and the impact of faith on healing. However, it later faced controversy when Alex publicly recanted his story, stating that he fabricated details about his experience. This led to discussions about the authenticity of near-death experiences and the ethics of publishing such narratives.
