Heaven is for Real


A book I have read is called Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo.  In this book, Colton Burpo experiences heaven, and survives to tell about it.  Colton is the three year old son of Todd and Sonja Burpo.  Colton goes through a near death experience, and visits heaven in the middle of it.

After many days of pain, they took Colton in to the doctor and found that he had a ruptured appendix that has been poisoning his body for days.  Colton was near death, and the doctors rush him into an emergency surgery.  Somehow, Colton survived.  The medical reports show that his heart never stopped beating, but it was a very close call.

Over the next few months, maybe even years, Colton starts to explain what happened to him during his surgery to his.  He goes on to tell his parent about heaven.  He says that he actually saw the nail marks in Jesus’ hands, and that he even got the chance to sit on Jesus’ lap.  Colton continues to go on describing heaven and all of the people that he got to meet while he was there.

I thought Heaven is of Real was a really good book, and I would recommend it to everyone.  It was sad to hear of the boy’s near death experience, but all of the stories he told were very interesting.  I loved reading about how the Colton described heaven.  Overall, it was a great read and I would tell anyone and everyone to read it too.

  1. I haven't read this book, but I have heard people talk about it. All the stuff about heaven and seeing Jesus sounds pretty cool. It's even better that he lived to tell about it. I'm glad he's alive and better. I have been looking for a book to read. I think I might read this one.
