Heaven is for Real is a book that you will only want to read if you are ready to cry. I think that crying is good for the soul for everyone (even though I struggle with it) and therefore I recommend this book to everyone! If you have ever had a question in your mind about the existence of heaven I think this book will help you to find some compelling evidence from the mind of a young child.
The story is about a 3 year old boy who visited heaven while in surgery. I don't want to give away the entire story about what the family endures while their son is in the hospital or they pain they experience but I think the read is worth it. I understand that the thought of heaven can be a tough thing to speak of but I also think that we need to think towards heaven and not just about getting there ourselves. I think we live in a society that needs the hope of Christ in their life!
On a personal note it really brought up some emotions inside me that struck deep when our daughter was in the hospital and the pain that Charity and I endured in that time in our lives. The book brought tears to my eyes just thinking about my little girl sitting in the NICU and the pain from that. I truly felt with the dad who was enduring this painful situation.
