23 Minutes in Hell is a personal book written by Protestant Christian Bill Wiese and published in 2006. The book recounts what the author claims were his experiences in hell in 1998. The book and the underlying story within it are the topic of a series of speaking tours given by Wiese, predominantly to Protestant churches and other Christian organizations. He says his visits to hell were out-of-body experiences that were also visions, one lasting 23 minutes and the other 10 seconds.

The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven: A True Story is a best-selling 2010 Christian book that purported to tell the story of Alex Malarkey's experiences in heaven after a traffic accident in 2004. It was published by Tyndale House Publishers in 2010. Alex's father Kevin Malarkey is credited as a co-author along with Alex, although Kevin holds sole copyright. Alex later admitted in writing the story was made up and he never went to heaven. The book was then pulled from publication by its publisher. The book was a commercial success, selling over a million copies. It was adapted into a television film in March 2010.
