Heaven Is For Real ~ A Book Review

I have never doubted that there is a heaven.  I know that someday, when I die, I will be reunited with all of those who have passed before me, and I will be waiting patiently for those who come after I am already there.  I am sure a majority of my readers will admit that they believe there is a heaven as well.  But what would you do if someone confirmed that for you?

In this book, three year old Colton Burpo amazes his family with stories of heaven.  He tells them that during an emergency appendectomy, which occurred while he was seriously ill, he left his body and visited heaven.  He talks about meeting family members there who have never been mentioned to him before, like his Grandfather and his sister, a baby his mother miscarried before he was born.  He described heaven in detail, and all those details were confirmed in the bible.

This book is an easy read, and the story is quite amazing, if you choose to believe it.  I know there are skeptics out there, but I am not one of them.  I choose to believe this little boy, and I can not wait to someday see all the things he discovered during his trip to heaven.

***I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

That sounds like something I would love to read. I read 60 seconds in Heaven. (Not for sure if that is the name.) It really makes you think about things.
