Heaven is For Real

I finished the book Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo, and Lynn Vincent

It is an incredible story of Colton Burpo and an event that left his parents wondering if they had seen their son alive for the last time.

In the time after that Colton starts telling details about heaven and meeting Jesus.

Details a child that young for sure shouldn't know.

Amazing read.

I couldn't put it down.

I read it in two days, even with working, and being exhausted from being pregnant :-)

One thing is for sure, have a box of Kleenex.

Read. It.

At the end of the story they mention a girl (Akiane Kramarik) who is a child prodigy that lived in an atheist home, who suddenly started telling her mom about Jesus and heaven. Colton confirmed that her painting looked like Jesus. These are a few of her paintings. You can purchase them, they are expensive, but I really hope to one day have a print of one of these paintings on my wall of our home.

You can visit her website here. She also has a facebook page here

Love by Akiane age 13

Her description on her website states,
"The hands are portrayed as comfort and affection of love.
The unborn babies, vulnerable and dependent, represent all life"

Isn't that beautiful?

I AM by Akiane - age 17

I cannot wait to meet this man face to face. God is so amazing for giving his son up for all of us so we can have eternal life. To have that much love for someone is utterly amazing.
