Heaven is for Real

A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

By: Todd Burpo, Lynn Vincent

Narrated by: Stu Gray

#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife.

“Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.”

Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing:

• Meeting long-departed family members
• Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us
• How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor
• The Battle of Armageddon

Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.”

Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.

Enjoyed listening to this wonderful story.

Enjoyed listening to this wonderful story about a family's experience with their son & Jesus.

Highly Inspirational!

Storyline told it like it was. Young child says he went to Heaven and saw God and Jesus and came back to talk about it. Highly recommend if you have not heard this child’s story through his father’s perspective.

very uplifting

This is a story that will make you happier and more inspired after having heard it.

Movie

The book had more information than the movie. I enjoyed it but the book ? Well let’s just say I couldn’t put it down 🩷🩷

Needed to Hear This

Heaven from a child’s view and from the mouths of babes. I believe in heaven, God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but after losing a close friend, I was reassured that we will meet again. Can’t wait to watch the movie next.
