Tyndale House, a major Christian publisher, has announced
that it will stop marketing “The Boy Who Went back From Heaven, ” through Alex Malarkey as well as his father, Kevin Malarkey.
Your best-selling book, first published this year, describes what Alex encountered while he lay in the coma after a vehicle accident when he was 6 years old. The coma lasted 8 weeks, and his traumas left him paralyzed, however the subsequent spiritual memoir — using its assuring description of “Miracles, Angels, and Life past This World” — became a part of a popular variety of “heavenly travel, ” which have been controversial among orthodox Christian believers.
Earlier this 1 week, Alex recanted his testimony concerning the afterlife. In an start letter to Christian bookstores posted on the Pulpit and Pen Site, Alex states flatly: “I wouldn't die. I wouldn't go to Paradise. ”
Referring towards injuries that carry on and make it challenging for him expressing himself, Alex writes, “Please forgive the brevity, but because of my limitations I have to keep this short…. I said I went along to heaven because I thought it'd get me attention. When I created the claims i always did, I had never see the Bible. People get profited from sits, and continue for you to. They should see the Bible, which is sufficient. The Bible will be the only source of truth. Anything written by man cannot become infallible. ”
Tonite, Todd Starowitz, public relations director of Tyndale House, told The Oregon Post: “Tyndale has made a decision to take the e-book and related ancillary products out of print. ”
Last April, Alex’s new mother, Beth Malarkey, posted a statement on her behalf own blog decrying the memoir and its particular promotion: “It is both equally puzzling and painful to watch the book ‘The Boy Who Went back from Heaven’ not just continue to sell, but to continue, for the the majority of part, to not really be questioned. ” She continues on to say how the book is not really “Biblically sound” and that her son’s objections to it were ignored as well as repressed. She also notes that Alex “has not really received monies from the book nor have many his needs been funded because of it. ”
She leads to obvious frustration, producing: “Alex’s name and identity will be used against their wishes…. How can this be occurring??? Great question…. How made it happen get this far? … another good question. ”.
