#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife. “Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.” Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of Armageddon Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.” Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. Praise for Heaven is for Real: “A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me

When you get off the battlefield and into the courtroom you can grant God the legal clearance to fulfill His passion and answer your prayers.
This book is an informative book. It tells you about my seers graduation in Heaven, which went on for three consecutive days, six hours each day. It also tells you about how beautiful, serene and blissful Heaven is and why it is important for everyone to endeavour to make Heaven. I say this because, as I walked past a wall in Heaven, I heard the screams of those who were heading to Hell, which was extremely frightening.
A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven. Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear. Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us. Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
Heaven´s Very Special Child & The Family is a most needed book concerning the purpose of God in allowing a child who is retarded or physically disabled to be born. From personal experiences by the author, a widow of a pastor, and one of their 5 children, with Down Snydrome (Ruth lived 43 years), Edna recounts the blessings, amid many trying times. Besides her personal story, in this book are many other stories from others that touch the hearts of readers. In Part 2 of the book are original poems and songs all related to the care and inspiration given to parents and other caregivers of children who are either physically disabled or mentally retarded. And, from a religious angle, the mention of prayers, unspoken by the child are emphasized. There is a resource section also, where readers can receive further information about parenting a disabled child, and the obvious joys and benefits to themselves and to society. The poem ´Heaven´s Very Special Child´ was read and acknowledged by the late President Kennedy on the day of his assassination. As we all know, his sister was mentally retarded. The actual inspiration for the poem was through Henry Viscardi´s conversation with his mother. Henry was born without legs and became a famous author and he started a school for disabled children in New York.

Heavens and the Heaven looks at five levels of heaven. These are Life, Heights, Times, Power and God. As far as the scriptures are concerned, the author could find no other heaven. In other word, we do not and cannot go to heaven when we die. In looking at hell, on the other hand, we also find that this is suffering, pains and aches here on earth. Death and the grave is, therefore, the seal of this hell. Some have asked: “why do we believe in Jesus, then?” The answer is in Paul’s Temple cry in the council of Acts.23:6. “... Men and brethren ... of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called ...” So, the struggle continue to be choosing between our will or God’s will; our traditions and belief system, or the word of God as contained in the Bible; our sugar laden air pocket ridden leaven bread or God’s choice of healthy unleavened bread. To introduce this book a little bit more, here is an excerpt from the theme of this work: If all living are in heaven, it may be hard for some to accept that those who are alive but ill and suffering are also in heaven. This explains why too many folks refuse, or find it difficult to accept that the life we enjoy now is all the heaven there is. But the harsh reality is, for as long as this present time remains, life is all the heaven there is! Whether we accept or believe it or not, we LIVE out this heaven of life in Time, in Height, in Power (and privileges) and in God. These all, jointly and severally describes the five levels of the heavens there are. But life makes sense of the others and everything else. That life is in God. His Spirit establishes that life in all living. So, when we talk of Life we, inadvertently, talk of the Deity of the universe. The author’s position in these is this. Let this work help us to pause a moment. Then, reexamine the word of God in these views of our heavens also. We may yet find that we have been with the traditions and belief of men long enough. Our individual and joint finds should help ground us more strongly in whatever level in the Faith and understanding of the word of God we are in, currently. In this effort, we should remember that the greatest of these all is to love God above all, and our neighbor as ourselves. Our neighbors are our family members (immediate and extended members), the Jews or Israel (the Elect of God and our Father’s first born). The third are the folks we meet in our daily interactions.
