Editorial Review, provided by Amazon.com:
Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.
Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.
Told by the father, but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

Love this book, helped give me a better understanding of the love of God.
Amazing book. We had a 4 hour trip with my grandson whom is 10. I had to read the whole book to him and he didn’t want me to stop. Heaven is real, never doubted it and never doubt the little children!!!
I live in Nebraska. My sister lives in Imperial Nebraska and told me about this book. I bought it for my husband for Chirstmas. I read it to my husband on the way to a family dinner and again on the way home Christmas Day. My husband then finished reading it to me before we went to bed that night. WE have told everyone we know about this book. What a great story. In fact my husband is reading it again.
Thsi book was a hugh wake up call. As I read this book it brough inspiration to my life. I see God and Jesus in a differnt way now. I have always been a beliver but now I feel more attached and not afraid of death. Thank you Colton for sharing your experience with us.
What a wonderfully marvelous book. Touched my spirit and made heaven come alive. I ministered to a family today in the hospial about an ongoing illness with their Mother and was able to share portions of Colton’s story with them. Thank you for sharing your life experiences with us. May God continue to bless your family.
Loved this book. My grandfather just passed away, and it was very comforting to read about Colton’s experience and picture him there. I know we are blessed when we do not see and yet believe, but I have been blessed by your son who HAS seen and will help many others to believe. Thank you for writing this book.
My mom told me that I needed to read this book, that I wouldn’t be able to put it down. Well, she was right,what a wonderful inspiring book.
What a wonderful book! Someone sent me a link on facebook and after watching it, I ran out to purchase the book. I read it in only one day. My whole outlook on heaven has changed and the picture of Jesus is awesome. I look at that picture and know in my heart that I am looking into the face of my saviour! Thank you Colton for sharing your experience with all of us! I’m passing the book on to all my friends.
Fabulous book. I intend to buy extra copies to hand out to others. What a blessing for you to share Colton’s story with the world.
