Heaven is for real by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

Heaven is for real was an interesting book. It was very touching to hear of Colton's trip to heaven and back. Colton needed emergency surgery and almost died in the process. Colton's mother Sonja asked him if he remembered the hospital. He replied with "Yes, Mommy, I remember, that's where the angels sang to me." Whenever I read this sentence it gives me goosebumps. Colton then began explaining how the angels sang to him because Jesus saw that he was scared. He proceeded to say they made him feel better. Sonja and Todd were extremely shocked about this. They had no idea what to say. I felt the same way I did not expect him to come out with this.

Todd had some problems too. He had broken his leg into four pieces, cut the tip of his finger off, got kidney stones, and now finds out he has breast cancer. I really feel bad for this family. Too many bad things happening to one family. This book is an incredible way of telling a true experience of meeting God. It can also make people have hope and not be scared. Maybe the next time your in a scary situation God will send the angels to sing to you.
