When Connor started asking me about Abby in Heaven, a few smart people here suggested I read Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo. I got around to it about a month ago and I must say, those who suggested it were right- it was a heartwarming, easy read. Even if you don't believe in Heaven, or just aren't sure how you feel about Heaven, I think you'll enjoy the story. The author, Colton's father, is a pastor, but he isn't preaching or trying to convert non-believers. This is just the story of their family's experience, and Colton's testimony. I really can't imagine any parent not being moved by Colton's story. It's one of hope and healing.
Here is their interview on the Today Show this week. If you don't love the interview, don't let that turn you off to the book- the book is far more satisfying :)
