"In a crazy pandemic world, this book provides some refreshing true life insights coupled with a few good laughs on the life struggles of the author. A thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating read. As an engineer, I find Dr. McKinney's knowledge in Psychology and Life refreshing. We all need to get busy living our life to its fullest and there's many mindful suggestions in this book. Take a chance at living the life we love and be true to ourselves is a theme we should all aspire to. Nice job Dr. McKinney!

"McKinney masterfully interweaves scholary studies, anecdotes and pop culture to examine what it means to be human. He provides great advice on how meditation, reflection and love can lead to true happiness. His words are especially relevant during these uncertain times. This book should be in everyone's library!!"

"Let me say, I really enjoyed this book and I was totally engaged cover to cover.
What I wasn't expecting was to be so...mmm...convicted, and a little frustrated. I was forced to look within myself and ask questions I honestly was ok not dealing with. Like, Do I love myself, and, what does that even mean?
I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book.
Chad's story is incredible.
Even though this book pissed me off a little, the writing has truth and power, and given a chance, has the ability to help grow and transform people.
Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Everyone should read it at least once. I have the paperback and just purchased on Audible copy so I can listen on my commute."

"An excellent look at how the ups, downs, triumphs, and failures of life are all part of the same spiritual journey. Just the read I needed in a time where it's easy to look around you and feel helpless against all the pain and darkness that seems to consume the world."

"Heaven in the now" a true treasure, in this chaotic 21st century, where the superficial is appreciated more than life itself, where we spend our time thinking about what already was and what doesn’t yet exist, truly wonderful! Thank you for your dedication, your knowledge, for sharing your life story and for so much love. Hopefully everyone can read it and hopefully everyone can have a Chad in their lives."

"Well written. Author gives unique insight and great advice. Easy to follow along and provides references and actionable items. Highly recommend for those looking for our own divinity"
- Thavy
"The author takes you on a personal journey of the evolution of his feelings towards a higher power. This is a thought provoking book that forces you take a closer look at the decisions you are making in your own life. It also provides actionable ideas on how to live happier and healthier. A great read! I highly recommend!"

"This world, this “Reality”, for many of us has lost its state of Flux. We have been living in a Ice age of beliefs, “facts, and “knowledge”.
“Heaven in the Now” shifts the poles of “Reality”. It is a call to remember that we are not just the Iceberg but also the Ocean...
I suggest that You lose yourself in the waves of Wisdom and streams of consciousness in “Heaven in the Now”. This is the type of book that asks of us presence as we read it and humility as we digest it.
If all humanity’s “holy books” made us believe in God a little less they would be more like this book... Chad McKinney brilliantly uses Humor and Wisdom to remind us that Heaven, which is a state of being, is when we remember to Feel and Appreciate the GoOD in ourself...."
- Aubrey
"A truly powerful read covering life, love and the search for inner peace. Following along the author’s search for life satisfaction, I took to heart his lessons on how to live in the present and take on life’s journey. A must read and one that I’ll pick up again!"
- Cvo
"This book showed up for me exactly when I needed the most as I was going through my own spiritual awakening. And there are no coincidences! On this book Chad shares his teachings on meditation, transcending the illusion of expectations and reality, letting go of the ego and attachments, synchronicities, Akashic records and many other spiritual development topics. He shares his own personal spiritual awakening journey and writes about what one can expect while learning how to navigate and grow their spirituality. This is a must read for anyone looking to dive deeper into their spiritual journey."
- Lori D.
"This is a must read with many new and wonderful insights about life in general... more like how to enjoy life NOW. I had many pages marked to go back to and read again because there was such inspiring quotes, stories and advice that sparked something. It was a fast read because I wanted to keep learning more.
The author is completely genuine and funny and I could totally relate to moments while learning and presently trying to incorporate other helpful insights in my life."

I will definitely be referring this book to all of my friends and family!"
