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.[1][2] It was published by Tyndale House Publishers in 2010.[3] 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.
Since publication, Alex Malarkey and his mother Beth have disavowed the book. Alex commented online in 2011 that it was "one of the most deceptive books ever",[4] and wrote an extensive repudiation in an open letter to Christian bookstores in 2015,[5] describing his near-death experience as a fabrication. As a result, Tyndale House removed the book from print, and many Christian bookstores removed it from their shelves.[6]
