I just read it. It was interesting, and a quick read, but do I buy it? Not really.

I don't like talking about religion too much. I'm spiritual, but I'm not religious. I don't define myself as a Christian.

I believe this family believes the story. I believe there is more than we know or can understand, but I don't believe this story is fact, word for word. This boy was very religious to begin with. His father had been preaching for the boy's whole life. he heard many stories. maybe he had a dream. kids pick up on stuff even if they aren't specifically taught the information.

Yes, im sure your right. My dh said the same thing. I guess i just want to believe that heaven is rainbows, and passed loved ones, etc. Fake or not. I hope heaven is the way he explains it is.Chat Icon

I read it. I believe something happened, but don't know what. And I'm a Christian.

I kinda believe it especially how his son didnt come out with all this information at once, it was kinda of in dribs and drabs over a few years. its also amazing how he described Jesus and heaven the same way that girl in the end of the book did that they were talk ing about akine

I read it. I think something happend, it could have had some poetic license but for the most part I want to think it is true.

I believe it's true, there are some things in there that there's no other explanation to how he knew about it then that something happened. I liked The Boy Who Went to Heaven and Back (or something to that title) better, it was a much more powerful story, I cried straight through the first 5 or so chapters.
