Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo
5.0
The book Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo is about his son’s amazing journey to heaven and back. Colton was three years old when he was extremely sick and had this near death experience. When he came back from surgery he claimed, “The angels were singing to me”- which shocked both his parents. As the weeks and months unravel Coloton reveals that “You know I almost died” and reveals that during this time he was in heaven and relates certain aspects of heaven that are not only detailed but scriptural as well.
I think this book is great for any Christian or non-Christian to read. As I was reading this book I kept relating Colton’s experiences back to scripture. One verse that continually popped in my head was: 2 Peter 3:8 “But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” Colton’s experiences highlight the fact that God sees in the fourth dimension- He can see time and it is not a linear progression.
I feel like this experience happened to a four year child for a reason. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children." (Matthew 19:4). It takes a child to relay his heavenly experience without any fears of people rejecting him and without any pretenses. Colton’s child-like, matter-of-fact faith made him the perfect choice for this experience. Whether you’re a Christian, a non-believer, or just have questions about what might happen after death, you should read this book.
