Anyway, one of the books I read this week was called Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent about a four-year old who undergoes a traumatic experience and almost dies. A few months after the whole experience the little boy, Colton starts talking about his experience meeting Jesus and going up to heaven. Slowly the family learns that Colton had a very unique experience when he was undergoing surgery, an experience that very few have.
The book is so interesting because it really makes you think about what heaven is and why this little boy had this experience. Everybody has different ideas and opinions about religion but I did find this book reaffirming and coming from a 4 year old it seemed very innocent and real. I would definitely say if you are interested in religion to check this book out, it's such a quick read and I don't think you'll regret it.
I have heard such great things about this book! I would really like to read this book! I need to finish the 3 books I have started though first! I have a problem with not finish books!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's friend just sent me this book as part of my graduation gift! I've heard from a bunch of blogs that it's really good. The storyline seems sooo interesting. I think you're right - if it's coming from a 4 year old- it's coming from a very good place! :) MademoiselleMichael
