ajthompsonSouth DakotaAge: 25-34Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5HeresyFebruary 8, 2016ajthompsonSouth DakotaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1There are so many things in this book that don't line up with Scripture, but I'd like to focus on a few key things that anyone reading their Bible would know. There are only 3 accounts in the Bible where someone actually saw heaven: Ezekiel, Paul, and John. Each of them had an attitude of fear and awe. They were trembling and afraid of the mightiness of God. God did not give them a little chair to sit on next to the Holy Spirit. They fell on their faces like dead men. This book lacks the proper response to seeing the holiness of God face to face.
Another thing you would know from reading your Bibles, is that it is not God's plan to bring people back from the dead to tell others about heaven. When Jesus told the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers. Abraham told him that if they do not believe Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe someone who comes back from the dead. Jesus is telling us that all we need for faith is the Scriptures, not near death experiences. -
maegy97sydney, australiaAge: Under 18Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5This book was contrary to my beliefsJanuary 14, 2011maegy97sydney, australiaAge: Under 18Gender: femaleQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1Heaven 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. 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, 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.
I didn't like this book because it is contrary to my beliefs. I received this book from Thomas Nelson publishers' Booksneeze program. The program allows me to review books for FREE as long as I give an honest review of the book on my blog. -
