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.
Heaven is for Real

I actually just bought this book this past weekend. I plan to read it as soon as I’m done with Fifty Shades trilogy. I did a book review of the first novel yesterday. Check it out if you’re interested in reading romance novels.

I enjoyed this book very much. It reminded me of The Shack somehow. Maybe because both were very easy to read and I gained so much more insight into God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. I think when it comes to God simple is better, hands down.
