Heaven is for Real for Kids

November 30, 2011 by Molly



Heaven is for Real for Kids – A little boy’s astounding story of his trip to heaven and back 
*ages 4-8
*New York Times Best Selling book (over 2 million copies in 6 months), now adapted in a hardcover, illustrated version.
*Written by a child, for a child
*Children will learn what heaven is like based on Colton’s experience and how it coincides with the Bible
*Parents can teach and comfort children with the fact that heaven is real.
*Letter to parents for teaching their kids about heaven included in the front of the book
*Heaven “FAQ” page &
scripture match-ups featured in the back of the book


My husband and I have both read the adult version and have been blessed by it. When I heard of the kids version, I knew it was something I had to read to my own kids. We had given them bits and pieces of the adult version before I had the chance to read this one, and they were fascinated. Heaven is for Real for Kids is beautifully written and illustrated just for children, and it’s held the attention of my six, nine, and even eleven year old sons each time I’ve read it with them. My six year old Joshua had many questions after we read it, and it was so interesting to hear his thoughts of heaven. He is most definitely
looking forward to being able to fly, which he absolutely believes he will be able to do.

When I opened my computer this evening, to my surprise, on the front of Yahoo news was an new interview from msnbc.com with Colton Burpo and his life today.

 

I’d love to know what your children’s thought are of heaven, so please feel free to share them with me!



I was provided a copy of this book for review by Thomas Nelson through Tommy Mommy. I only represent products I love on my blog, and my opinions given are 100% my own.

    It's no surprise that Todd Burpo's book, Heaven Is For Real is a bestseller. People love hearing about that place Shakespeare called "the undiscovered country." We want to know that there is something after death. Parents who have lost children want to know that their children are all right. People are looking for hope behind that great curtain of death. I believe many people will read Heaven Is For Real looking for that hope and they will find what they are looking for. At the very least, they will walk away having had an enjoyable read

    I explained Heaven as being our home with God where there is no pain, sickness, fear or hurt.

    I just asked my 4 yr old son "what is Heaven?" He replied, "It's where you go when you die to live with Jesus, and eat lots of carrots so you can see EVERYTHING."
