Heaven is for Real:

 Based on the beloved book by Pastor Todd Burpo;

                         A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back


 The Burpos are the perfect picture of a small-town Americana family: mom and dad, daughter and son. Young Colton and his dad are inseparable … until an illness lands Colton in the hospital. Fearing they will lose their son, the parents cry out to God to spare him. Colton emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven. Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven.

Young Colton survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear. Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us. Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

 HEAVEN IS FOR REAL tells one family's story about Heaven and the impact it has on their community … and the world. 

        See HEAVEN IS FOR REAL in theaters, beginning Wednesday, April 16, 2014.

"I recently saw HEAVEN IS FOR REAL. It was a beautiful reminder of the hope of Heaven, but also of the hope we put in each other until we get there. It's a movie about struggle, love, and Jesus. This is a film which—like the love of Jesus—you need to experience, not just hear about."-- Bob Goff, Author, Love Does.

From Barnes & Noble

For the nearly ninety percent of Americans who believe in heaven, Nebraska pastor Todd Burpo's 2010 account of his 3-year-old son Colton's return trip from Heaven was inspiriting confirmation. On April 18, this word-of-mouth bestseller will reemerge as a film starring Craig Kinnear and Kelly Reilly. These new movie tie-in trade paperback and NOOK Book editions will include an expanded photo section and bonus material on the film.

Colton, not yet four years old, talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us. Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says,
 “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.”

Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.

 "If I ever reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there; first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third, the greatest wonder of all, to find myself there."-- John Newton
