3 yr old faces a near death illness. After he recovers he begins to tell his parents of things he saw in heaven. Amazing account.

This is a great book and so inspirational. To hear about heaven from a young boy's point of view is refreshing, heartwarming and hopeful. He has a great family and I liked reading about their story as well. ( )

Christian propaganda—starts off fairly reasonable…and then assumes a pretty heavy handed “be one of us or suffer for eternity!” attitude. And it doesn’t seem to match any of the many near-death experiences that I’ve ever read about: what does jewelry have to do with spirituality? If you’re a gullible Christian (meaning that you want/expect Heaven to be like Earth, only better) then you’ll enjoy this story. ( )

Het verhaal van de vierjarige Colton, die in allerijl geopereerd moest worden aan een ontstoken blindedarm. De situatie is levensbedreigend en tijdens de operatie sterft Colton bijna. Wonder boven wonder herstelt hij en begint dan te vertellen, hoe hij de artsen met hem bezig zag. Wat zijn ouders op dat moment deden en voelden. De familie weet niet wat ze met zijn verhalen aanmoet. Maar de verhalen die Colton vertelt over zijn ervaringen met God, met Jezus in de hemel, de ontmoetingen daar met zijn te vroeg geboren zusje en zijn overgrootvader, informatie die hij nooit eerder gehoord had, zeker niet met zoveel details, doen bij zijn ouders (zijn vader is predikant en ondernemer) en bij de geloofsgemeenschap in het dorpje Imperial (Nebraska) de overtuiging groeien dat zij hem wel moeten geloven... Todd Burpo en zijn vrouw, zeer gelovig, maar niet zweverig, vertellen dit verhaal tot in de kleinste details en spiegelen alle informatie die hun zoon hun geeft aan verhalen in de Bijbel. De journalist Lynn Vincent is co-auteur. De lezer moet de rode draad in het verhaal goed vasthouden, maar zal geboeid raken door de openheid en eerlijkheid. Er is meer tussen hemel en aarde dan mensen kunnen vermoeden.

Epigraph
I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
—Jesus of Nazareth
Dedication
First words
Prologue
The Fourth of July holiday calls up memories of patriotic parades, the savory scents of smoky barbecue, sweet corn, and night skies bursting with showers of light.
The family trip when our nightmare began was supposed to be a celebration.
[Epilogue] Just over seven years have passed since an ordinary family trip turned into a heavenly trip that changed all our lives.
