Book 16 of 2015- "Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo

I had heard about this book, but I hadn't been able to read it until now. It was REALLY good. It is the story of a 3 year old who undergoes an emergency appendectomy and is in the hospital for a while. A few months later, he tells his family about how he went to heaven and saw Jesus. His dad is a pastor, but didn't tell him many of the details that this little boy knew.
It was fascinating! I believe that this is real, and that the boy had an out of body experience. He met his great grandfather, who died more than 25 years before he was even born. It was also very sweet that he met his sister, whom his mother had miscarried before he was born. I know some friends who have had miscarriages, and as much as you want to believe that children go to heaven it is a relief to hear it from a first hand account.
What is most interesting is that there is another girl who has had visions of heaven and paints what she saw. When they showed Colton the picture she painted of Jesus he said that was it.
