"A bestselling Christian book that claims to detail a boy's trip to heaven and his return to Earth is being pulled from stores after one of its co-authors admitted he made the whole thing up.
The 2010 memoir, "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven," was written by Alex Malarkey and his father, Kevin Malarkey, a Christian therapist in Ohio.
In 2004, when Alex was 6, the two were badly injured in an automobile accident. Alex Malarkey ended up in a coma for two months, and the book claims to tell the story of his trips to heaven during that time.
Malarkey described a heaven with a "hole in outer heaven" that goes to hell. Alex Malarkey detailed his conversations with Jesus Christ and meetings with the devil, who at one point blamed him for the accident."
