Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boys Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
"Burpo, a Wesleyan pastor in rural Nebraska, recounts the story of his
son’s mystic vision of heaven while the youngster was suffering from a
near-fatal illness in the spring of 2003. Through the course of the
work, Burpo recalls conversations he had with his son about what heaven
was like. Christians will be encouraged, non-Christians not at all. This
work is written in a plain, conversational style that Dean Gallagher
narrates with great skill. Gallagher reads at a pace that is never
hurried, even when recalling stressful incidents. He is expressive, but
never melodramatic—especially when relating the anguish Burpo and his
wife felt at nearly losing their child."

"Heaven is for Real is a a heartwarming, simple, and surprisingly
biblical glimpse into a little four year old boy's journey into Heaven.
Colton Burpo was four year's old when he found himself at death's door.
His family didn't realize he had made his amazing journey until small
but shocking revelations that amazed and bewildered his parents began to
leak out. Colton didn't just have one sit down conversation, he let his
journey be known one startling revelation at a time."
