Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent is a bestselling Christian memoir that recounts the extraordinary near-death experience of four-year-old Colton Burpo. Published in 2010, the book details how Colton, the son of a small-town Nebraska pastor, underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix and, during the operation, claimed to have visited heaven .   In the months following his recovery, Colton shared vivid descriptions of his experience, including meeting Jesus, angels, and deceased relatives he had never been told about, such as a miscarried sister and a great-grandfather who had died decades before Colton was born . These revelations astonished his family and challenged their understanding of life, death, and the afterlife.
