Un niño sale de una cirugía, que le salvó la vida, contando asombrosas historias acerca de su visita al cielo.
El cielo es real es la verdadera historia del hijo de cuatro años del pastor de un pequeño pueblo de Nebraska que durante una operación de emergencia visitó el cielo.
El niño sobrevivió y afirma que veía, desde un plano superior, al doctor operando y a su padre orando en la sala de espera. La familia no sabía qué creer, aunque pronto la evidencia se hizo más clara.
Colton decía que conoció a su hermana que murió antes de nacer, de la que nadie le había hablado; y a su abuelo, que murió treinta años antes de que Colton naciera. Además, describía el caballo que solamente Jesucristo montaba, lo enorme que es Dios y su silla, y la manera en que el Espíritu Santo derrama poder desde el cielo para ayudarnos.
Relatado por su padre, el mensaje es que El cielo es real, que Cristo ama a los niños y que estemos preparados, porque viene la última batalla.
Heaven is for Real
A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.
El cielo es 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. He 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, 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.
In Heaven Changes Everything, the Burpos share details about their experience and about Colton's visit to heaven that they weren't able to include in the original story or in the Sony Pictures release of the Heaven Is for Real movie. Practical and inspiring, the short essays shed light on living with a miracle and the afterlife, each ending with a relevant scripture. Listen in as Todd, and for the first time ever Sonja, from her perspective as a mom, show you how believing heaven is for real helps us survive hardships here on earth, including the death of a loved one or the loss of a child through tragedy, miscarriage, or even abortion.
This newly revised edition offers bonus material including:
Come see how heaven can indeed touch earth and change everything.
A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.

Do you remember the hospital, Colton? Sonja said. Yes, mommy, I remember, he said. That's where the angels sang to me.
When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed--a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.
Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery-and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He 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.
