Heaven is for Real is a true story about a young boy(not yet four-years-old), Colton Burpo, who survived an emergency surgical operation to remove the appendix (appendectomy.) His family was extremely grateful for Colton’s miracle operation. I do, however, give the book two stars because it's well-written, anecdotal and flows like a decent piece of fiction.
If you're not an American Fox News watcher, the idea of Heaven presented here is probably not going to work for you either. Ultimately, I think that religion is a big costume party and that Heaven is a realm of universal love for people of all faiths. It's way to saccharine for me and doesn't ring of absolute truth. And I believe that we can stay in touch with our loved ones from beyond the grave. Anybody who's willing to work with Palin is pretty much a bullshit artist in my worldview. What's more, the book is co-written by Lynn Vincent who also worked on Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue.
The views portrayed are second-handed and fit way too neatly into a conservative Christian ethos. The book is told by Carlton's dad, Todd, who is a minister at a small Nebraska church. I wanted to like this book but now that I am finished I am terribly skeptical.
This is the story of four-year-old Carlton Burpo's ascent and adventures into Heaven while undergoing an operation for a ruptured appendix.
