Heaven Is For Real

I was sitting in the movie theater when a preview for a new movie came on the screen. As I was watching it I leaned over and whispered to my husband, “I bet this is based off of the book ‘Heaven is For Real”. Just as I finished this sentence the movie title popped up on the screen, and in giant letters were the words, “Heaven is for Real.” Yes. Nailed it. And then my husband turned to me and called me a book nerd haha. I personally hadn’t read the book but working as a librarian I have seen it come and go many times. I decided I better read it if I was going to watch the movie because that’s just kind of a rule in my book: Read first, watch second.

I loved this book. I would highly recommend it. It is a book of hope, love, family, and faith. But it is also a story of struggle and overcoming our trials. It is written simply and beautifully and makes you realize how much our Father in Heaven really does love little children. The book mentions a little girl prodigy who has visions of heaven and then paints them. I had to look her up on youtube and she really is amazing. I’ll post a video of her below too. It’s stories like these, among other things of course, that leave me with little doubt that heaven really is for real.
