When I saw this book and learned what it was about, I was intrigued. But I was also skeptical. I read it cautiously, and discovered it was an amazing story.
Three-year-old Colton Burpo needed emergency surgery. He was a very sick little boy. He survived the surgery with a full recovery, but as the months after surgery went on he began saying unusual things to his family. He could describe exactly where they were and what they were doing while he was being operated on. He described going to heaven, and since his father, Todd Burpo, is a pastor, he questioned him frequently about the details. This little boy knew details about heaven and explained it in such a way that a young child would not know or understand. He couldn't even read yet, but gave his parents details that matched the bible. He also describes meeting deceased family members that he never knew.
There are so many parts of this story that gave me the chills. It is absolutely amazing, and this family is spreading the story of Colton going to heaven so that we would have faith and believe. I highly recommend reading Heaven is For Real.
