I'm surprised I haven't heard of this yet because it seems like the kind of book that would stir up a bunch of controversy. Hmm. Well, I'm agnostic so I wouldn't be setting out to prove this book wrong. However, I'm skeptical considering the father of this boy who supposedly "went to Heaven" is a pa...

Such a good, fast read. But even in that short time you learn so much about Heaven and God....and through the eyes of a child.I really do recommend it to anyone.

Oh Boy.I am reluctant to review this since I have friends who loved this book, and my mother recommended it. But this book bugged me so much I just have to have my say.This is a book about a three year old boy who comes close to death (never pronounced clinically dead, as in most near death experie...
