Heaven is For Real

Heaven is For Real is another audio book that I received from Oasis Audio Books. I enjoyed this book immensely. It was interesting, moving, and challenged my faith, and I don't mean that in a trite way. The book chronicles the story of the Burpo family and the amazing events that surrounded their son's bout with appendicitis. Through a series of medical misdiagnoses, their son Colton nearly died from a ruptured appendix, and then miraculously recovered. Not long after the events, he started talking about his visit to heaven and the things he experienced there. This book challenged me on my beliefs about heaven, and I felt renewed and encouraged after listening to it.

Todd Burpo, Colton's father,  reads the book that he, along with his family,  wrote about the events. It was incredibly touching to  hear a father recount the story of nearly losing his son, and then the amazing world that was opened up to him after Colton recovered. It made the book extremely personal to be able to hear the story read by someone who experienced the events. The chapters are not overly long, and the book is engaging and draws you in.

I highly, highly recommend this book. Read, or purchase it on audio and listen to it. It's one of the best books I've read in a while. :-)
