This book will completely change the way people think of eternity and encourage those who believe in God.

The Burpo family was devastated when their little boy Colton nearly died during an appendix surgery. With the help of God, Colton came back to life. Few months later, this 4 year old boy began to tell his parents about some things that happened during the surgery, things he saw in heaven that he did not know on earth. This little boy could see what his mother and father were doing during the surgery. He even said some things about Heaven he was not even aware of. 

During his near-death experience, Jesus came down in the operation room and took Colton to heaven. Angels were singing all the way to heaven. Colton remembers everything that happened up there. He describes the encounter with his miscarried sister, God and his great grandfather. Todd Burpo, Colton's father and a pastor of Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Nebraska, was not sure whether to tell this story to the rest of the world or keep silent. Then, he thought that people deserve to know that Heaven is for real. He took notes of all the details his son has told him about and vividly described Colton’s trip to heaven and back. Heaven Is For Real book was published by Thomas Nelson Publishers in 2010. For short time Heaven Is For Real became the best selling Christian book. More than 1 million copies of Todd’s Heaven Is For Real book were sold worldwide.

The book Heaven Is For Real was written by Colton's father Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent (an author of the New York Times bestselling book Same Kind of Different As Me). Colton's parents didn't know whether to believe in his innocent story at first, but their doubt faded away when he shared some details that he could not know. According to Colton's experience heaven is a merry place where angels sing. Everyone is young and happy up there. Todd Burpo used Colton's own words to write the Heaven Is For Real book and allow people to take a glimpse into heaven and encourage those who wait and believe.
