Overview

How would you live your life differently today if you knew that no matter what happened, everything would be okay, even wonderful, in the end?

Todd and Sonja Burpo's almost-four-year-old son Colton made an unforgettabel trip to heaven and back during the darkest, most-stressed-out days of their lives. Times were tough, money was scarce, and the bills, frustrations, and fears were piled high.

The story of Colton's visit to heaven changed their lives–and the book they wrote about it, Heaven Is for Real, gave new hope to millions of readers.

Now, in more than forty unique inspirational readings based on excerpts from their story, Todd, and for the first ever Sonja, from her perspective as a mom, share what happened next–in their lives and in millions of others. Through their own experiences, and based on the stories hundreds of readers have shared, they show you how believing heaven is for real helps us survive hardships here on earth, including the death of a loved one or the loss of a child through tragedy, miscarriage, and even abortion.

The daily readings provide a powerful reminder that, beyond the hardships we may face in this life, God's incredible gift of heaven awaits us. Imagine being completely fearless on earth because you know that after this life you're going to heaven, and you know, really know, you're going to love it there. That's the promise heaven holds for us.

Heaven is God's last word–and believing it's real changes everything.

Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Nearly ninety percent of Americans believe in heaven, but pastor Todd Burpo and his wife Sonja Burpo have an added incentive for doing so: Their son Colton came back from a door of death experience with distinct memories of a short trip to heaven. The family's bestselling Heaven Is for Real recounted the experience, but also opened a nationwide dialogue about what eternity can and should mean for the living. In Heaven Changes Everything, the couple responds to that vital question with forty faith-based readings based on excerpts from their story. A holiday gift for those who want to be heaven-bound.
