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

1.0

Colton Burpo was a regular four-year-old boy living in a small Nebraska town with his pastor dad and teacher mom. In 2003, he had a near-death experience after he suffered from a ruptured appendix. Doctors fought to save his life, and Colton surviving the odds was considered a miracle in the medical field.

Colton lived to tell the tale of how he has seen heaven, Jesus, God, Gabriel and the angels. He started to talk about stuff in the Bible and about Jesus that a regular 4-year-old just could not possibly know yet. Also he shared with his parents how he has met Pop, his dad's grandfather, and his sister, whom his mother lost due to a miscarriage before he was even born.

The book is a short and easy read, and ultimately, it will make you think and rethink about the heaven that is already in your head.
