Wow, this is an amazing story. After I read it, I let my Mom read it and she loved it also. Next I'm going to let my brother read it. My Mom recommended it to her sister, and Aunt Ruth Ellen is going to try to find it through her library.
This book is very easy to read and the story goes quickly, so even those of you that don't like to read shouldn't have a problem reading this in no time. My Mom got through it in one day. I took three different days to read it, but I only read before going to bed, so it really only took me a matter of a few hours to read it also.
I have never read a book about "near death experience" or "life after death" that was anything like this book. A little boy goes to heaven while he is in surgery for a ruptured appendix that had gotten infected. Over the next few months and even years he talked to his parents about what he saw and did while he was "dead". His Dad is the one who wrote the book and it is from his perspective although he does quote his son in some instances. He tells how he and his wife responded to the things that their son said in the months after the surgery and how they finally started to believe that there was no way that their 4 year old could be making any of this up. (Like how he met his sister whom his Mom miscarried before he was even born. His parents had NEVER mentioned that miscarriage in Colton's hearing.)
Even if you don't believe in heaven and hell, or God and Satan, this is still a good book toread. I really enjoyed it, as I DO believe in heaven; but it is a pleasant story to read even if you are reading it only for the entertainment factor.
My father died three weeks ago and I received this book for free to review shortly after he died. I believe in heaven and my father was a great man of God so I believe he is in heaven now with Jesus, but even believing that, reading this book touched my spirit in a way that no other book ever has. It left a feeling of comfort and peace in it's wake.
This is not just another "near death" book. This book will touch your heart!
I am recommending that everyone that knows how to read give this book a try. It is worth the few hours that it takes to get through it!

Disclaimer: I got this book free from Book Sneeze and in exchange I am to give my honest opinion of the book. I do not have to give a positive review. In no way is my review the opinion of Book Sneeze or Thomas Nelson (the Publisher). It is simply my opinion.
