“Heaven is Real for Kids” as told by Colton Burpo to his parents, Todd & Sonja Burpo; illustrated by Wilson Ong

Description
Heaven is for real, and you are going to like it!

Colton Burpo came back from his trip to heaven with a very important message: Jesus really, really loves children. In effort to reach even more families with this eternally significant story, this runaway bestseller is now told from Colton—kid to kids! Children will receive the same comfort and assurance that so many adults have received from the trade book.

Beautifully illustrated, under Colton’s direction, this book is uniquely written from a child for a child. Colton tells of his experiences in first person and comments on things that will be important to kids. A letter to parents is included to guide them in talking to their children about heaven. Scripture along with Q&A section with answers from the Bible are also included in the book.

My Thoughts
Everyone has beliefs in life, most of which cannot be explained or proven with physical evidence…but in this TRUE story, we learn about a little boy who died and went to heaven – and then came back to life to tell his family about it. In this truly remarkable book, you get to “see” heaven through a child’s eyes…and it so beautifully illustrated.

Many people may not believe in heaven, or this child’s story…but after reading this book, I am a believer. I believe in Heaven, and I know that its real. As a parent of two young children, I would highly recommend this book for any family. It will give you a better understanding of where we go when our lives end here on Earth.

My oldest, who will be 3 in a few short months, really enjoyed this book…and like me, learned so much! This book would be perfect for a Sunday school classroom, a child/family who is has lost a loved one, or many many more situations.

To learn more about this book, you can visit the publisher’s website, or purchase it for yourself on Amazon.com.

Thank You so much Booksneeze & Thomas Nelson for letting me review this book! I absolutely love being apart of your bloggers reading program Take care and I look forward to reading more books from you in the future!
