This was one of my all time favorite books, and if you haven’t read it you should.  It would make an excellent Christmas present.

One of my favorite parts of the book is when little Colton was playing with his swords, and his parents said You know there is no sword’s in heaven.  And Colton replied Oh yes there are swords in Heaven, the big Angels have swords and they stand gaurd with them to keep Satan out of Heaven!  Amazing!  This little boy told things he saw of in Heaven that no one would know unless they had been there.  He even after a long time found a picture of what Jesus looked like when he saw him.  God turned this child’s illness and near death experience into a powerful message for us.  He even told about Jesus’s cousin who baptized Jesus.  This is an amazing book and testimony.  So if your having doubts about God and Jesus, read this book!

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of a four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who experienced heaven during emergency surgery. He talked about looking down to 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.

In heaven, Colton met his miscarried sister whom no one ever had told him about and his great-grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born. He shared impossible-to-know details about each. Colton went on to describe 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 Colton’s father often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is that heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and to be ready … there is a coming last battle.
