Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd BurpoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I do believe Colton had a spiritual experience, however I think some things were embellished so his father, who is a preacher could in a way give a sermon throughout the book. I wonder if Colton, knowing his dad is a preacher as well as being constantly asked over the years about heaven makes him feel obligated to relay messages in regards to heaven to please the masses. Colton now has to go through life forever being in the position of the little boy who saw heaven. Living up to this message will be a huge undertaking for someone so young, which perhaps may be his calling in life. I thought Heaven is for Real was very interesting and it did cause you to pause and reevaluate your faith and what you are willing to believe, after all he is barely four when he begins to speak about heaven. His words were beyond his years as well as his thinking, so maybe God gave him the words he needed to explain his experience to his family? Heaven is for real and it shouldn't take a word of four year old for you to believe it.
