Heaven Is for Real, A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back, is the true story of the Burpo family and Colton, who during his life-threatening illness and sudden surgery, slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He narrowly survives. Several months later while passing by the same hospital that saved him, Colton begins talking about his experiences during surgery and making a trip to heaven.

Written in the first-person narrative of Colton's father, Todd, with New York Times best-selling author Lynn Vincent, Heaven Is for Real walks readers through the revelation of Colton's trip, his parent's initial uncertainties and the lessons learned by such a small child.
