so the little girl who lives on the opposite side of this planet who also had an identical experience and her parents asked a artist to draw the person she described and that picture is identical to the one which this little boy described and an artist rendering he described here just happens to be almost identical to the little girl's rendering doesn't mean much ???

It's because they both saw the same thing. They are both at the age of innocence and they both had out of body experiences and saw Heaven and sat on Jesus' lqp.

The little boy also saw his little sibling whom his mother had still born before this little boy was born.

It's okay to doubt and think evil of people who are sharing a real story of a real live event complete with tons of medical expenses from the boy's sickness.

But its kinda hard to refute a little girl on the other side of the planet who saw identically the same thing and person. And there are drawings made by artists from both who did not know each other.

Yer missing out on a great true story all because you think everyone is a crook.

What I see is a Pastror who sharing a real actual event to strengthen people's faith in what they read in scripture and there boy was able to describe what he saw and meet his little unborn brother who was in Heaven and he did not know about him.. But in casual talk with hi parents on a road trip mentioned to them from the back seat of a car he met his sister and he did not know he had one.

His parents NEVER ever told him. So how did he know?

Like I said, I can mail it to you. I have given away about 25 of these for free to people.

I would be happy to buy you one and have it shipped to you.. I have Prime so there is not cost to ship it.

Let me know..

Re: “I'm happy to send it to you.. No problem.”
The news that the author is a pastor is actually a negative. I don't put pastors on a pedestal when it comes to trusting them. I still remember Jimmy Swaggart after all - and all those Catholic priests.

Additionally, my reaction to his being a pastor is: Isn't that convenient? A pastor parent who knows EXACTLY what heaven is supposed to be like has a 4-year-old son give him the same description.

Children are little tape recorders at that age, taking in what they hear from their parents and spitting it back later, often word for word. I'd be more impressed by far if little Colton had given his father a dramatically DIFFERENT description than the one the father expected. After all, Heaven is surely a multi-faceted place. Why does Colton's description mirror the Bible's?

The Amazon link says:

"Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation."

In other words, Colton told the author something Colton couldn't possibly have known. But do you know who could have known it? The author. That's not very persuasive to someone who is already wondering if the pastor / father / author is exaggerating (to put it politely) things just a tad. It would have been more impressive if Colton had told his father what the doctor did immediately after leaving the operating room. Or what the admissions staff had done during his surgery. Or... any number of things that neither Colton nor Todd Burpo could have known.

Your offer to send me the book is very kind, so thank you. I'm not going to take you up on it - because at this point I've lost interest. On to some other subject! Perhaps Ray Kurzweil's new book. Or I may pick up one of the many SF books lying around and read something light for a change.
