Boy recants published story of visiting heaven The boy who claimed he met Jesus in a near-death experience says his story was made up, causing his bestselling book to be pulled by the publisher. I did not die. I did not go to Heaven, Alex Malarkey wrote in an open letter published this week on the Pulpit and Pen website. The bestselling book, The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven, purported to be the story of a 6-year-old boy in 2004 who said he saw heaven after being hurt in a serious auto crash five years ago, is being pulled off the shelves by Tyndale House, National Public Radio reports. Alex goes on to write, I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible. People have profited from lies, and continue to. They should read the Bible, which is enough. The Bible is the only source of truth. Anything written by man cannot be infallible. He ends by saying, Those who market these materials must be called to repent and hold the Bible as enough. Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious. Of the angels who took him through the gates of heaven itself, readsdescription of the book being sold on Amazon. Of the unearthly music that sounded justterribleto a six-year-old. And most amazing of all . . . of meeting and talking to Jesus. Alexs mom, Beth, had written in an April 2014 blog under her name that she had doubts about the veracity of the account, which is co-authored by Alex and his father, Kevin, The Blaze reported. The couple are now divorced, and Beth has custody of Alex and his siblings. It is both puzzling and painful to watch the book The Boy who Came Back from Heaven to not only continue to sell, but to continue, for the most part, to not be questioned, she wrote, in part, in the blog. I could post facts and try to dispel many of the things contained within the pages of that book (have done a bit of that), I could continue to try to point out how Biblically off the book is (a few strategically placed scriptures does not make a book Biblically sound) and how it leads people away from the bible not to it, I could talk about how much it has hurt my son tremendously and even make financial statements public that would prove that he has not received monies from the book nor have a majority of his needs been funded by it (a fund that was set aside by a friend a few years ago has actually been paying for most things in the past few years but that fund is dwindling), I could..but it seems like many people want to believe what they are given despite the wrong that it may be doing or the wrong that was done in the making of it. Alexs book should not to be confused with Heaven Is for Real, a book about another boy and his situation, that has been made into a movie.
