Heaven is for Real, by Todd Burpo

Heaven is for Real, by Todd Burpo, is about a boy named Colton Burpo who at the age of three when to heaven after he died during his surgery. In heaven he saw his great grandfather, who had passed away even before he was born, his sister, and Jesus. When he came back to Earth, Colton told his parents about everything he had seen while in heaven, how in heaven he sat on Jesus's lap, and saw his father yelling at God. His parents had found out that Colton was sick when one day he kept constantly throwing up.

This book in my opinion can answer many questions to which you want to know. However, the book is very controversial, since many Christians, pastors, and scientists have found many concerns regarding the book. I do encourage people to read the book, because everyone can learn something different from it.
