Heaven is for Real

During my time away from writing - I have been doing some reading, traveling, and starting life anew. So as I get back into it after some gentle persuasion from friends I have a reading recommendation.

A few months back I read Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. It's an amazing and TRUE story about a young boy (Colton Burpo) and his trip to Heaven. Colton, only 4 years old recounts stories about what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was in surgery, meeting his grandfather that died man years before Colton was born, stories in the Bible he's not yet learned, meets Jesus, etc. Though it takes a little while before you get into the heart of the story, it's a very good read. If you're a little spiritually lost I think this book can help you rediscover your way. And it's a really fast read - I finished it in one day because the story was so inspiring.

If you do happen to read it let me know what you think....

Next time I go on a trip I'll have to remember to read this one.

Welcome back to the blogging world. Sounds interesting but doubt I'll read it. I've sinced distanced myself away from spiratuality in the christian sense. I look forward to more reviews!
