Heaven is for Real, by Todd Burpo (Book #2)


My initial inclination, as a graduate of academic religious studies, was to use my "highly critical methodologies" to analyze the veracity of the story and the storyteller.  Ultimately, though, I decided against it.  I wanted to appreciate the story as it was presented—as a spiritual and emotional testimony of faith.  Truly, this book resonated within my deeply.  Simply said, I was touched.  As a father, I was immediately connected to the boy and his father, and that connection never waned.  This book is a source of hope, faith, and purpose.  I highly recommend this book to those in need of a little spiritual enlightenment—or those who just enjoy reading about supernatural phenomena that doesn’t involve fanged supermodels.
