Amazon's Description:
This story has incredible intrigue and emotional power.”
--Randall Wallace, Director
Heaven Is for Real, We Were Soldiers, and Secretariat
“Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said.“Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.”
When four-year-old Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the following months—a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy’s trip to heaven and back.
This true story, retold by his father but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, 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.
Bonus material in this special movie edition includes:
- Photos from the movie set
- Updates from father, Todd, and son, Colton, on recent events including the making-of-the-movie experience
- “From the Set” Q&A’s with the movie’s filmmakers and actors
This is a beautiful story. Reading it gave me such peace and joy. I've read this book now 3 times; however, it was the first time I got to read interviews with the producers and actors. I am really looking forward to the movie. As a mom of 2 babies in Heaven, this book really brought me peace. Colton's story is extraordinary. I love his matter of fact descriptions of people, events, and images that he saw during his 3 minutes in Heaven. I love that he met his sister and grandfather and was able to bring peace to so many people by sharing his story. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. In fact, I've recently shared this book with my Dad and with others who have lost a loved one or facing a life threatening illness.
