Todd Burpo is the Pastor of Crossroads
Wesleyan Church in Nebraska and he is the
dad of Colton Burpo.
"Heaven is For Real will forever change the way
you think of eternity, offering the chance to see,
and believe, like a child."
After the death of a family member and a tragic
death of a local youth I read this book and
found myself smiling at a young boys child-like
faith, his bold innocence, and his detailed
description of Heaven.
This book does not answer the hard questions
that may come with death. It does not take away
the hurt nor does it fill in the hole that is left
behind. However, it does for a moment give us
insight into one little boys' child-like faith and his
simple worded description of Heaven.
"I tell you the truth, unless you change and
become like little children, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven."- Jesus of Nazareth.
Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
