When life gets so busy that things like blogging are put to the side, boy does it feel good to feel the dust settle and routine to take hold once again! We are nearing the end of the school year, spring is upon us (halleluiah!) and at bedtime for the kids, it is still light out. To wrangle them in, we have been trying to settle in and read together as a family. A dear friend shared this amazing book with me, and we are hitting the hay each night with the comfort of life beyond our journey here on earth – such needed perspective amidst the chaos taking place around the world. Let me tell you more…
Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us. Told by the father, but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
When I checked my in box today, there was an email from Women of Faith featuring this book and offering it at 50% off. Once I saw that, I just had to write about this book and share!
