Heaven is for real : a little boy's astounding story of his trip to heaven and back / Burpo, Todd. / 163 p.

Cute Kid by the way.

A very quick read, most people could get through this book in less than 2 hours.  This non-fiction book is written in first person as a Father (Todd Burpo) describes the harrowing account of almost losing his 4 year old Son due to a sudden illness.  The little boy recovered, but soon after started telling his parents that while he was being operated on at the hospital that he left his body and went to heaven and meet God, Jesus, John the Baptist, Mary, his Grandfather and other.  Over time more and more pieces of the story of his trip to heaven is told to his parents and recounted in this book.  Setting my personal opinions and feelings aside; I think the father does a good job trying to recount exactly what he said & asked his son about the trip to Heaven.  He also tries to just state the facts as he sees them without trying to put his influence on them.  And even though Mr. Burpo is a pastor by profession, I was very glad to see that the book wasn't overly preachy
