Heaven Is For Real

When I read a book, I want it to be something that impacts my life….that it either corrects or changes faulty thinking, or clarifies vision.  Here’s a book that has done both for me…Heaven Is For Real by Todd Burpo.  The subtitle is “A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip To Heaven and Back.”   It was at the top of the New York Time’s Bestseller’s List a few weeks ago, and caught my interest.

 I read this book in just a few hours…couldn’t put it down…and my emotions ran a full gamut from anger to joy, from shock to elation…but there was not one moment of boredom in this little book. 

As a three-year old, Colton was misdiagnosed….the doctor said he just had the flu, but he really had appendicitis, and it burst inside his little body, and emergency surgery was required.  While on the operating table, Colton left his body and went to Heaven.  His dad has chronicled many things Colton  said about what he saw and heard in Heaven in this book.

If you don’t believe in Heaven, and don’t want to…don’t read this book.
