Heaven Is For Real - Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent
Love biographies of extraordinary lives?
This account of one-boy's near-death experience is now a hit movie
You'll discover a story like no other, and a new way of seeing what comes after life
The book that took the bestseller charts by storm, 'Heaven Is For Real' brings you the true story of how one little boy described his trip to Heaven - and back giving an account of life after death that's astounding Christian and non-Christian readers alike. The now iconic little yellow paperback takes on the journey that started when 3 year old Colton Burpo’s 2003 family holiday ended in the child's near death experience.
The story gives you firsthand accounts of the heartache of Colton’s father, Wesleyan Pastor Todd Burpo and his wife Sonja as they prayed for a miracle while surgeons battled to save the three year-old’s life. When the little family left hospital 17 days later, they had no idea of the miracle that had taken place, or of the astounding story their son was about to reveal.
The Story That Spread Like Wild Fire:
As Colton told his story, the Burpo family didn't know what to believe. He talked about a journey - though he's never left the hospital. He talked about meeting his miscarried sister and shared impossible-to-know details about the great grandfather who'd died 30 years before Colton was born. Astonished and perplexed, his parents realised that these couldn’t just be tales from a sick child’s vivid imagination. The only explanation: their son had been to Heaven!
Narrated by Todd, but often told in Colton's own childlike words, the disarmingly simple message of this book is that heaven is a real place, that Jesus really does care for children, and that we should all be ready for a final battle that is coming soon.
'Heaven is For Real' is a book that has engages with believers and non-believers. It is a very human story of a family's pain, suffering, loss and miraculous restoration. Above and beyond 'normal' life its book that will have you asking questions and wanting to know more about what comes next and our ultimate destination.
The book has already featured in both 'The Daily Mail' and 'Daily Express' newspapers, has topped the US New York Times Bestsellers list for an unprecedented 56 weeks for a book of this content, and is well on its way to becoming a bestseller around the world. The popularity and the buzz around 'Heaven Is For Real' shows no signs of diminishing with further specialised editions.
But it's the original book, co-authored by the experienced bestseller in her own right, Lynn Vincent, that's the key to whole astounding story. The questions and the answers - at least the answers from a 4 year old with first hand experience, and presented by a pastor father in tune with what the Scriptures say on the matter, are absorbingly presented in 'Heaven Is For Real'.
