Heaven is for Real


Heaven is for Real

- from anovelmenagerie.com

After a minister’s son undergoes emergency appendectomy and nearly loses his life, Colton Burpo begins to reveal to his parents the tale of his visit to heaven while in the hospital.  At the young age of 4 years old, he begins to describe to his parents events of his out of his body experience.  For example, he tells them what he witnessed them doing in another section of the hospital while he was in surgery.   He then begins to share with him the glory of heaven and all that had witnessed, including meeting his great-grandfather and unborn sister.  Colton describes in great detail how angels appeared, what Jesus looked like, and the glorious beauty of heaven.
As Colton shares the details of his visit, these provided facts to his father mirror the words which are stated in the Bible.  At his young age, he had not yet read or heard about such things.  Some of the sweeter points of the book were how Colton described..... (read the rest of the review here)
This is a great resource for anyone looking for hope. It was very reaffirming after reading the book, Heaven, by Randy Alcorn.  There is also a Heaven is for Real for Kids that is also very good and includes more info from Colton that was not included in the original book.
