Title: Heaven is for Real
Author: Todd Burpo
Genre: Non-fiction
Summary: A four-year old boy, Colton, undergoes surgery and lives to tell about his visit to heaven. Colton explains how he could see the doctor operating on him while his father prayed in the waiting room. Colton’s parents couldn’t understand or even believe the stories he was telling. Then Colton told them about meeting his miscarried sister and described his deceased grandfather of 30 years with vivid details. Finally, he describes “the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how ‘reaaally big’ God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit ‘shoots down power’ from heaven to help us.”
The true story is told by Colton’s father but in Colton’s words.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This book deserves 5+ stars because I couldn’t put this book down. As an avid reader, I find myself referencing this book in conversations months after reading it. The detailed language creates vivid images and you can imagine yourself in the room or in the car.
