Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo

5.0

Heaven is for Real is a heart-stopping story about a little boy who died for three minutes and then came back to tell us what heaven is like. Parents of small children will definitely empathize with the Burpo's during the harrowing points of Colton's story. My favorite quote is, "from the time a child walks until about the first grade, one of the main tasks parents have is keep their kids alive." Exactly right. Several of the points that Burpo brings up through the story are very interesting and thought-provoking. While many of us want to get to heaven, how many people have really spent much time thinking about what it would be like? At the end of this book it doesn't matter whether you believe it happened or not. What is important is that this book makes you think.
