“Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.” -Matthew Henry

Heaven is for Real Deluxe Edition

Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo is the astounding story of a little boy's trip to heaven. Colton is the son of an Nebraska pastor. He died breifly during an emergency surgury, and what happened to him has inspired thousands. Colton gives his account of entering heaven. The back cover reads:
"Colton said he met his miscarried sister whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us."
The author is Colton's father, who is the pastor of Crossroads Wesleyan, a wrestling coach, a volunteer fireman, and he operates a garage door company with his wife, Sonja, who is also a children’s minister, busy pastor’s wife, and mom. Colton, now an active 11-year-old, has an older sister Cassie and a younger brother Colby.
