Summary:
"Presents the story of the four-year old son of a Nebraska pastor who, during emergency surgery, slips from consciousness and enters Heaven."
When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that folowed, a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back. Colton, not yet fjoud years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened ever before he was born. He also astonised his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven theat matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and he plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He described Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much god loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, "Nobody is old and nobody wear glasses."
