What experience do I leave when reading this book?
I received a copy of this book free from publisher through BookLook Bloggers in exchange of review. This is actually the third book I read about real story of near-death experience. But what makes this book unique is that the experienced was from a four-year old child. Considering that it is a child, I couldn't agree more about what Todd Burpo says, "A child doesn't have an agenda. A child isn't contaminated with adult-thinking". Albeit kids can fantasize things, but the scenario where Colton opened about his meeting in heaven with his unborn sister and his Great Grandfather who died a quarter of century before he was even born proved everything that what Colton's experienced is real. And indeed Heaven is for Real.The book gives hope and clarity to those people who has doubt, worries and mourns for their love ones who passed away. I wouldn't say it applies to all, some may be touched with Colton's story others may not because I believe Holy Spirit moves differently in different people.  And only those with open heart can fully understand it. But one thing that was promised, great things awaits us up there if we're doing good deeds here in the world that we currently live. For me this book is a piece of puzzle that answers the mystery of life after death.The book is worth reading which doesn't surprise why it hit the bestseller list and was eventually translated into different languages in different countries. And now it is recently in theater, which I will definitely watch though I read the book already. Well at least reading and watching it gives me a taste of what heaven is - as I understand Colton's description, heaven is a paradise beyond comparison.
