HEAVEN IS FOR REAL by Todd Burpo

 

IS HEAVEN FOR REAL?  Colton’s story, written by his father, Todd, answers many questions asked by people throughout the years.  During a health crisis, Colton slowly unravels a story for his parents of what happened while everyone assumed he was fighting for his life.  While unconscious, he has an out-of-body experience that defies logic – but, aligns to the spiritual realm.  He sees Jesus – God – family members he had never met – leaving everyone wondering: can this be true?

 

I had read the book before, but, I came to it with new eyes this time.  In January of 2012, my only daughter passed away.  Colton’s story gives me hope – hope that all I have believed in is real – hope that I will see my daughter again.  As Colton’s story slowly unfolds, his parents are amazed – just as readers will be amazed by this young man’s story. 

 

This update includes photos from the movie set, updates from father, Todd, and son, Colton, on recent events including the making-of-the-movie experience, and “From the Set” Q&A’s with the movie’s filmmakers and actors.  Even if you have read the book, a reread is a MUST before seeing the movie!  Never has there been such an inspiring story that affirms all we believe in!
