I just finished a book, “Heaven is for Real”.
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.
A simple a good read… in the crazy chaos we have to due with everyday, we sometime forget that we don’t belong here… and the real place where we are going, we don’t really have much of an idea of…
Another important highlight was that this boy after diapproving much of depiction of Jesus Christ, finally approved of an painting, which coincidentally painted by a child prodigy who also had a close encounter with the heavenly at age 4; www.akiane.com
a resurrected manly Prince of Peace…
