"Heaven is for Real"

Another Booksneeze review, yay! Seriously, this website is great. What other site gives you great books for free just for reviewing them?! I just finished "Heaven is For Real" by Todd Burpo, so here is my review for that!

I've been wanting to read this book for a while, so I was excited when I finally got to. As most people know, it is about a young boy who goes to heaven while experiencing some health problems, and his experiences while there. It was a little dry in areas, but it was really interesting to see how the story unfolds. The parents don't hear him talking about it until a few months after all of the problems, and the way he describes everything is incredible. It is with childlike simplicity and wonder: how it should be when talking about Jesus. I definitely recommend it, easy and interesting read!

I'm hoping I'll have more time to read soon. This is the first book I've read in a while. One of my favorite parts was when Colton (the little boy who went to heaven) continued saying how much Jesus loves us all the time-so much so that his dad had to ask him to stop talking about it all of the time! How amazing would life be if we would just constantly boast about Jesus and what He has done for us? Even something so simple as "Jesus loves you" seems to be hard to grasp. This is a BIG thing. The God of the universe, who formed you, designed you, and DIED for you, loves you. A mere human being. Someone who messes up constantly. It is truly amazing. Let us never forget this! Blessings :)
