Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back - Todd Burpo, Lynn Vincent It took some time but I think I finally got it.

I like the idea of this book. I believe in the power of prayer and miracles. But what was the tipping point of me was how every detail the boy described to his father was exactly what was described in the Bible. There was no element of "surprise". The boy said something and the father translated that to, "oh yeah, that makes sense because the Bible says that right here". It also perturbed me how niether in the book or in interviews are there any sort of descriptions of what Heaven itself looks like. No scenery set-ups. Just "lots of animals and people". We get that, we except that.

I think the kid had an experience but I think the story may have been stretched just a bit as well.
