Heaven Changes Everything

GOD IS FOR REAL, a new book from author of the best-seller HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, addresses soul-searching questions about God, like What is God like? Why are things the way they are in spite of who God is? If Todd's first book, Heaven Is for Real, was about the then and there of heaven, GOD IS FOR REAL is about the here and now on earth: Why are there are so many hypocritical church people? Why do Christians make such a big deal about the cross? Why doesn't God seem to answer our biggest prayers? People are tired of pat answers offered up in churchy language explaining away their questions; we want the down-and-dirty truth. What bothers us about life and faith is real and gritty. We need a plain-spoken voice to offer God's answers to difficult struggles and painful doubts. Todd charges into these subjects with a fireman's courage, a small-town friend's vulnerability, and a local pastor's compassion. He helps articulate the questions people have, then gives them relevant biblical wisdom for taking their next steps in faith. God is ready to meet you! Are you ready to meet Him?

Hy oorleef die operasie en begin ná die tyd vertel van hoe hy kon afkyk op die dokter tydens die operasie en hoe hy kon sien hoe sy pa bid in ’n kamer. Colton het vertel dat hy sy sussie, wat nooit gebore is nie weens ’n miskraam en van wie niemand hom nog ooit vertel het nie, ontmoet het. Hy het ook sy pa se oupa ontmoet wat 30 jaar voordat hy gebore is, al oorlede is. Hy het ongelooflike detail oor elkeen vertel waarvan hy onmoontlik kon geweet het. Hy beskryf selfs die “baie groot” stoel waarop God sit. Die verhaal word deur Colton se pa vertel, maar dikwels in Colton se eie woorde. Die boodskap is eenvoudig – die hemel is ’n werklike plek.

Un nino sale de una cirugia, que le salvo la vida, contando asombrosas historias acerca de su visita al cielo. El cielo es real es la verdadera historia del hijo de cuatro anos del pastor de un pequeno pueblo de Nebraska que durante una operacion de emergencia visito el cielo. El nino sobrevivio y afirma que veia, desde un plano superior, al doctor operando y a su padre orando en la sala de espera. La familia no sabia que creer, aunque pronto la evidencia se hizo mas clara. Colton decia que conocio a su hermana que murio antes de nacer, de la que nadie le habia hablado; y a su abuelo, que muriera treinta anos antes de que Colton naciera. Ademas, describia el caballo que solamente Jesucristo montaba, lo enorme que era Dios y su silla, y la manera en que el Espiritu Santo derrama poder desde el cielo para ayudarnos. Relatado por su padre, el mensaje es que El cielo es real, que Cristo ama a los ninos y que estemos preparados, porque viene la ultima batalla.

La asombrosa historia de un nino pequeno de su viaje al cielo de ida y vuelta

El cielo es real

Colton Burpo tenía cuatro años cuando fue operado de urgencias de apendicitis. Meses más tarde, comenzó a hablar de aquellas breves horas en que se encontró entre la vida y la muerte. En 2003, durante un viaje familiar, Colton empezó a explicar que unos ángeles lo habían visitado en el quirófano. Todd no podía dar crédito a lo que oía, pero lo animó a seguir. El pequeño afirmó entonces que mientras lo operaban vio a sus padres aguardando desconsolados en la sala de espera. Esto no era más que el principio. Durante los años siguientes les fue dando detalles de su breve estancia en el cielo y de las personas que allí conoció, como su bisabuelo Pop, muerto desde hacía más de treinta años, o su hermana,a la que su madre perdió en el segundo mes de embarazo. En la actualidad Colton tiene once años, pero todavía recuerda aquel cielo en el que abundan los colores, las personas y los animales. Su historia nos ofrece un mensaje esperanzador que ha conmovido a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.
