Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo; Lynn Vincent

   

      This book is such an inspiration to me, as a Christian. The main character, Colton, is almost four years old.  He has to have emergency surgery and was clinically dead for a short period of time. Months after the emergency, he starts sharing events of being in heaven, the people he sees, and his experiences there.  He tells his parents about people he met that he didn't even know were part of his family and many other recollections from his experience.
     I highly recommend this book if you want to be encouraged or are struggling with questions of life and making sense of death. It is uplifting and encouraging.
