Anyone who would like to join the book review should see Bret Bellevue for the current book being read and join the group in the foyer library.

The Living Hope Book Review is currently reading and discussing

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Some of the other books we have read and discussed in the past include Mere Christianity and  Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, The Shack by William P. Young and The Circle Series by Ted Dekker.

Class participants read approximately 2-3 chapters each week at home.  When we meet together on Sunday morning we share our thoughts and Bible verses in regard to that week’s reading.   This class is open to all adults.  We strive to keep our class relaxed and encourage participation and discussion  by everyone.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo

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.
