"This is Duj Pepperman and you're on 680 K-TALK."
"Duj, this is God, calling from Heaven. I can't believe I got through. I'm one of your biggest fans!"
With this first-ever call-in from God, an L.A. radio talk-show host is sent on a mission from God that takes him to Heaven - then back to earth - on a rollercoaster adventure that includes meetings with the most famous celebrities in Heaven and on earth. Along the way he learns the origins of our universe, the meaning of life, and how the War between God and Satan will turn out. A comic journey that is bound to be compared to Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Shaw's Back to Methuselah.
Genre: Fantasy

Praise for this book
"Wild, irreverent, a hoot. Any other civilization would have burned Schulman at the stake. Did they know something we don't?" - David Brin
"It is the God damnedest thing I've ever read. If C. S. Lewis, Robert A. Heinlein, and Ayn Rand had teamed up to write a novel, something like Escape From Heaven would have inevitably resulted. I say 'something like' because this blistering satire of contemporary culture, religion, and politics could only have been written by J. Neil Schulman." - John DeChancie
"J. Neil Schulman's Escape from Heaven is so heretical it threatens a new orthodoxy and so comic that it is one of the most serious novels you will ever read." - Brad Linaweaver
"Just plain fun ... a romp ... behind the pure fun, has the serious Miltonic purpose of justifying God's ways to man." - Jerry Pournelle
