Heaven is for real!

Tonight at my Catholic Women's League, a fellow member and friend brought a book to share called Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. It's a book about a just about 4-year old who, after a near death experience, talks to his dad about things he saw and experienced while he was ill. Turns out, his dad being a minister compares his son's descriptions to heaven! It's a true story!

My friend, Dorothy, is using this book for her Baptism preparation course this year. Since Baptism is all about salvation, she thought she would use this book and her Bible references. She read part of the book to us and compared the boy's descriptions of heaven to Revelations. (The angels in Revelations 10:1; God shining and no night there in verse 21:23, and so on.)

I had heard about this book from another friend and thought it quite interesting, but tonight, I was further intrigued. When I went to the grocery story to get a few things, I also bought the book. I am going to start reading it tonight.
