I know this book really exploded at least a year ago, so I’m a little late to the game. There are so many books on my “to-read” list, though, that I often tend to read the books “everyone is reading” a little later than the rest of the population. Anyway, I just read Heaven is for Real, the story of a young boy who “left his body” during a surgery when he was not yet four years old. I really wanted to like this book. I didn’t. For a few reasons.

One thing that made me skeptical is the fact that Colton Burpo never actually died during his emergency appendectomy. I thought I was reading a book about a boy who died and went to Heaven…how did he go to Heaven if he never died? Right there it was hard for me not to dismiss everything else following in the book.
