Heaven Is For Real- Summer Reading Book Review

Looking for a good read this summer? Reilly's will be reviewing a book a week, giving you the low-down on our new releases.


Our first selection has been receiving lots of national attention. Heaven is For Real is the story of a little boy, Colton Burpo, who changed his family's understanding of heaven after a near-tragedy. At the age of four, Colton nearly died from a burst appendix. Heaven is For Real tells of Colton's trip to heaven, and the messages and people he met there. 

Filled with scriptural accounts of heaven, as well as the emotional impact this little boy's experience had on his community, Heaven Is For Real is a feel-good, easy read. Pastor Todd Burpo's writing is light and home-spun, more like a conversation over lunch than a traditional novel. Without getting bogged down in theology, Burpo touches on the effect that his son's vision of heaven had on his ministry, without preaching to the reader. The family's awe and belief in what their son shared with them over the years following his illness is apparent on every page. Heaven is For Real is the Burpos' chance to share their excitement over their son's trip to heaven with the world. 

If you are looking for a short and sweet ray of sunshine, give Heaven is For Real a try.
