Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really liked this book. The writing wasn’t superb, but the story was really good. The author is not a professional writer, but had a great story to share.
I have to say at the very beginning of the book, I thought it was going to be over the top “I walked with Jesus” story, but it was really the story of a boy who briefly visited heaven and how he unfolded the story to his family in the time after his visit. I kept thinking to myself, that it’s a hard story to believe, but if it was my kids (my daughter is the same age as the little boy) telling me these things, I would not doubt.
Overall, a great story to reinforce faith, because even as adults often the evidence we have to support our faith seems unbelievable.
This is another one I read recently (in the past year at least). I thought it was very interesting.
