HEAVEN IS FOR REAL



"Heaven is more real to me each year," Granny Lucille used to tell me.  "because more and more of the people I love are there."

 

Heaven is now filled with people I love:  including my mother and father,  my precious Granny Lucille, and my beloved pets:  Midnight, Sheba, Cotton-Candi, and Rascal.  I'm so glad there are animals in Heaven.    

 

Have you seen the movie, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL?    

 

I saw the movie and read the book:  the true story of four year old, Colton Burpo's miraculous survival after an emergency appendectomy.  

 

An amazing account emerged in the months that followed Colton's surgery --  of the little boy's trip to Heaven and back.

 

Is it possible?

 

See the movie, or read the book, or both, and decide for yourself.

 

Just relax in the movie theater, and let the story unfold.  

 

It's not a thrill-a-minute movie like Divergent or Hunger Games.   It's a peak inside a REAL  family with health, and financial, and faith struggles just like you and me.

 

The Burpo family did not sensationalize Colton's experience with Jesus.  The world came knocking on their door with questions.  

 

T.D. Jakes (pastor of Potter's House Church in Dallas, Texas) is one of the producers of HEAVEN IS FOR REAL.

 

    MOVIE REVIEWS

The Washington Post

By , Published: April 15 

"Presumably in keeping with Burpo’s book, Wallace ends the film tying Colton’s visions to those of another young person halfway around the world, whose paintings of Jesus eerily coincided with the American toddler’s impressions."
