He told his parents his story several months later and his parents then waited 6 or 7 years to record it in a book. His visit came while he was on the operating table after suffering a burst appendix. Heaven Is For Real is written by pastor Todd Burpo and it tells the story of his son Colton who, at age 4, visited heaven. I wonder if I’m the only one who finds it a mite suspicious that now that these books are selling like proverbial hotcakes, more and more people find that God wants them to tell their stories of heaven and hell. It’s currently sitting atop the New York Times list of bestsellers and has over a half million copies in print.
And now hot on their heels comes Heaven Is For Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back. Then there was 23 Minutes in Hell, another bestseller and another awful book. Don Piper got it started with 90 Minutes in Heaven, a really bad book that sold millions of copies. Embarking on a short tour of the afterlife is all the rage, it seems.
