Believing; a book review

Each year, I make a small list of books I would like to read. I usually find the titles on the NY Times best seller list but not all the time. This particular book, I've had written down for a little over a year, and I finally went to the library and borrowed it.
Boy, am I glad that I did. What a truly beautiful testimony of God and Heaven's existence. If you needed some affirmation in your life, I sincerely hope you'll pick this up and give it a read. Amazing, true story of a 4 year old who nearly died and recants his experience with Jesus and his visit to Heaven, much to his parents' surprise and utter shock.
I actually shared some of the more confounding parts of this book with my husband, as I read through them. He was very intrigued and at the end of it, I really discussed the book and how I felt about it. All through my tears! I don't know why I cried but I had such a sense of belief and a feeling of encouragement. I really need this, right now, in my life. I was so struck with the testimony of this little boy's journey to Heaven and back. I feel such a peace within, today. Definitely check it out, if you're looking for a new book to read or just need a little uplifting.

  1. Hi Dawn,
    Haven't been blogging in a while, but just read your post. I sat down and read this whole book (quickly..) once while sitting in a barnes and noble.. It was really good. (kind of like "90 minutes in Heaven".. but even better.) I still think about it sometimes. I specifically remember the part about spiritual warfare and the demonic beasts... that kind of left an impact on me...

  2. Thanks for letting me know you read it too! I was interested in reading 90 Minutes in Heaven as well, so I'll probably get that one next. I really feel like something has switched on inside me after reading this book. In a good way.
