Since I read the book Heaven is for Real by Colton Burpo, I
have seen many books with the same title throughout bookstores. The original
book tells the story of Colton dying and going to heaven before he is resuscitated.
As time goes on, his family beings to hear things from him that he couldn’t
possibly know, things like the looks of his grandfather he never knew, a
sibling in heaven his parents never told him about, and what his parents were
doing while he was in the hospital room. This book is written by Cloton’s
parents, Todd and Sonjo Burpo, in the format of a short devotional. The book is
broken into 42 chapters, and each contain an excerpt from the original book
followed by a devotional concept by Todd or Sonja Burpo. The chapters include
Is Your Light On?, Asking for and Giving Help, No Secrets, Forgiveness Is for
Real, and many others.
I liked the format of this book, and I liked the fact that
the chapters were short enough to be read pretty quickly, since I am normally
running late in the morning and find if devotionals are too long I’m not as
likely to spend time really thinking about them but I rather skim over them and
don’t really think about what I’m reading.
