Todd Burpo is the pastor of a Wesleyan Church in Nebraska. In 2003 his three-year-old son, Colton, endured a hellish, weeks long illness that nearly claimed his life. Months later Colton began talking to his parents about his trip to heaven that occurred while he was in surgery for an emergency appendectomy. Over the course of several months and then years in the ease and innocence that children possess, Colton revealed to his parents details about Heaven, angels, Jesus, and how much God loves us. He tells of meeting family members and friends and gives details that match Biblical descriptions he has yet to learn. Colton's story is retold by his father.Why I picked up this book: It had been recommended to me by several friends.
Why I finished the book: It is easy to read and I finished it in a day.
I'd give it to: Christians who want to reaffirm or strengthen their beliefs. Anyone really... especially those who might not believe or who may be confused by the differences in each Christian denomination. Colton shares the idea that people must have Jesus in their heart in order to go to Heaven. Plain & simple.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
