Thumbs Up

Dear Grandma,
As you probably know, I'm just not a book reader.  I lose interest easily.  If the book isn't completely captivating, then it's not on the top of my list of things to do (or on the list at all).  I don't recall you reading books either.  Mom isn't a book reader, Dad isn't, Joe isn't (maybe it's in the genes).... thankfully Gavin adores books, so perhaps the cycle will be broken! 


Anyhow, I cannot say enough about the book, "Heaven Is Real", written by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent.  It was a real mind-blower.  I read it in about three evenings and would highly recommend it!


Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

It's about a small boy who while in surgery sees heaven.  The details he gives his parents causes them to realize, there is no way he would know those things unless he really did see heaven!  Definitely gave me goose bumps!  The more people I tell about this book, the more I find have heard about/read it already.  It's extraordinary the things that children can teach us.


Love,
H
