I must admit, I read Heaven is for Real sort of under the assumption that it was fiction because it was easier to suspend my disbelief than it was to take the story at face value. Though, it does not purport to be fiction. It’s presented as a true story that happened to real people, and—who knows?—it may be. Who am I to tell the Burpos that maybe their son was actually hallucinating, or maybe he just has an overactive imagination, or maybe they’re believing in miracles because they can’t find any other explanation (regardless of whether or not there is another explanation), or maybe God presented himself to Colton in a way he knew Colton would understand because the family is Christian? I don’t know. Maybe it’s true. I can’t tell them it’s not. But I’m more like Doubting Thomas: I’m unlikely to believe it if I can’t see it for myself.

I loved this book; my mother gave it to me to read and it had the power to transform me utterly as a Christian. I highly recommend it.
