For two years I planned to read it, but I just got around to it now. And boy am I glad I did. This is just the spiritual inspiration I need in my life at this very moment.
This true
story about Colton Burpo’s visit to heaven and his encounter with Jesus Christ
happened when he almost died of a ruptured appendix at just three-years-old.
During his visitation to heaven, Colton attended school and meet John the
Baptist and family members who passed on well before he was even a thought in
the physical world. He even got to meet a sister he never knew he
had.
After his
recovery, bit by bit, Colton started to share various aspects of his encounter
in heaven with Todd and Sonja Burpo, his parents. At first Colton’s parents,
paid their toddler no mind and chalked up his evangelistic ministering to great
Sunday School teachings, but as the stories became more detailed, complex and
way too sophisticated for any three-year-old to comprehend, let alone retain,
Todd began to probe his son on theological doctrine only to discover his son
was indeed in heaven.
This
beautiful revelation of Colton’s is delicately unwrapped in Heaven is for Real.
It is inspirational for Christians, non-Christians, agnostics and atheists.
Readers get a firsthand account of a toddler’s journey into the supernatural
world and the solidification and confidence of his father’s faith in our
Creator.
The events
of Colton’s encounter in heaven were not shared with his parents in one
sitting, but throughout the course of a few years after his surgery. This is
one of the reasons why it took as long as it did for Colton’s father to write a
book on it. I can’t see anyone not being blessed after reading this book. This is one book that will not disappoint. Visit Amazon.com to learn more.
