Millions of people have now read the bestseller book "Heaven is for Real", recounting the 'astounding story' of four-year-old Colton Burpo's trip to heaven and back.Now the book is published in several editions including one for kids.
 
We have a kids' copy and I read it last week to our four-year-old grandson Noah. After reading the simpler version to him, Noah commented, "I'd like to meet that little boy!" He doesn't know that Colton is now twelve!
 
Like Noah, lots of us want to meet Colton and his family. Our area has the opportunity when Todd, Sonja, Colton and the rest of the Burpo family comes to Clear Lake, Iowa on Wednesday evening, June 20 - 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. at the downtown city park. There are no tickets; admission is free!
 
We are all invited to attend!
 
An excerpt from the 'for kids book', as told by Colton:
 
"After I got to see and learn all of these
amazing things,
Jesus said, 'Colton, you have to go back now.
I am answering your dad's prayer.'
Then I woke up and I was in
my hospital bed again.
 
I will never, never forget my trip to heaven,
and I will never, never forget what Jesus wants us to know.
 
Jesus really, really loves children.
And Jesus really, really loves you!"
 
*
"Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from the love God has for us.
Not death, nor life, not angels, not ruling spirits,
nothing now, nothing in the future,
no powers, nothing above us,
or anything below us,
or anything else in the whole world
will ever be able to separate us from
the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
~ Romans 8:38-39
