Heaven is for Real

Book • 2006
The book tells the story of Colton Burpo, who after surviving an emergency appendectomy, began sharing detailed and biblically accurate descriptions of his experiences in heaven.

He described meeting long-departed family members, seeing Jesus and the angels, and experiencing the love of God. The story, retold by his father Todd Burpo, offers a childlike perspective on eternity and the nature of heaven, which has inspired many with its simplicity and faithfulness to biblical accounts.
