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

2.0

While I loved the story and hearing the little boy's description of heaven, I was really disappointed overall with the writing. It's written by the dad who happens to be a pastor, and I hated that he had to "validate" everything the boy described by relating to/referencing verses in the bible. This approach just felt hokey to me. In essence, great story, poor storytelling. It was a really quick read, but I felt myself skimming over dad's interpretations to get to the boy's next recollection.
