Heaven Is for Real

a Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
Jul 08, 2015
When I first heard about Heaven Is For Real, I thought it would be two hundred pages of some author quoting passages from the bible and trying to strengthen my belief in Jesus, but then I saw it on a shelf in a store, read the first few pages, bought it, and finished it in the same day. Heaven Is For Real is a true story about a little boy named Colton Burpo, who ends up in the hospital after being sick for quite a while. He claims to have visited Heaven while he was asleep during the surgery. The things that he tells people he witnessed gives them different feelings: hope, fear, concern, joy. Together, him and his family conquer problems and create new ones, and it's all very entertaining to read about. The end of each chapter gave me more questions than answers, and I couldn't stop reading until the end. Of course, like any other book, it has its parts that you'd rather just skip over due to boredom , but in the end, it's a very well written book that leaves you thinking about the characters weeks after you finish reading. I suggest Heaven Is For Real to anybody who enjoys reading books that fill you with inspiration and wonder. Everyone that I've recommended this book to loved it as much as I did, and all of them have a different taste in books. Also, after you read this novel, don't bother with the movie. It leaves out so much of the actual book it will only disappoint and frustrate you.
