It seems like Good Friday is an appropriate day for this first book review. And “review” is in the loosest sense of the term.

I finished the book Heaven is for Real last week, and I’ve been rolling it around in my head since then. It’s about a boy who nearly dies from an exploded appendix who took a trip to heaven. It’s written by his dad as details came to light for the next few years after his boy’s surgery.

It’s a fascinating read, and I won’t say much more than that. I think this book is highly individualistic. A lot of books are, but a topic like heaven…it’s going to touch people in a million different ways. And even if you don’t believe all that you read in this book, it will make you think regardless of your personal views on heaven.
