The holidays are upon us. This means many enter into spiritual expressions of faith. While I was preparing the last blog, I could not give you many of the books I've read on the subject. “Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding
Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back,” by Todd Burpo, Sonja Burpo, Colton
Burpo and Lynn Vincent. A young boy of four years old life is in
jeopardy in surgery. He later begins to tell his parents his experiences as
they live their everyday life. Needless
to say this makes their life more than normal. Read it and enjoy.
“Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into
the Afterlife,” by Eben Alexander III M.D. This book is a testimony of a
neurosurgeon’s personal experience when he is brain dead. His fellow doctors, nurses and others know
that he should not be able to come back to a normal life. He writes with such technical descriptions of
moving from a daily non-spiritual experience or understanding, to one that
challenges his colleagues to believe there is more to life than just the
physical that we can see.
“Heaven Is Real: Lessons on Earthly Joy--What
Happened After 90 Minutes in Heaven,” by Don
“The Boy Who Came Back from
Heaven: A Remarkable Account of Miracles, Angels, and Life Beyond This World,”
by Kevin Malarkey and Alex Malarkey. Note: I realize that the young man in the
book has renounced the truth of the book.
I have read that the parents are in the midst of the divorce, and the
parents have different views of how religion and faith is walked out in real
life. I’d love to interview those whose
lives were touched by the son and subsequently written about in the book. The
book I reviewed above would seem to confirm that the son could have had such
experiences the knowing of situations in other people’s lives. Hence, I leave
this book for you to consider.
