Sarah has picked our book for October. We will be reading Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. Here is what it's about:
A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.
Heaven Is for Real is
the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor
who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters
heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and
see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The
family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton
said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and
his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then
shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse
that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair
are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.
Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly
simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children,
and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
So, pick up a copy at the library, borrow it from a friend, or if this sounds like something you want to have in your own library go out and get a copy. Happy reading ladies!
