Parts of this story I completely believe as truth, and others I question, but I think it is good to question. Besides, even Jesus said that people wouldn't believe those who come back from heaven just as they did not listen to the prophets themselves.

I met Jesus in a dream when I was a little girl of about 5 years of age and I was healed of my partial deafness and bad speech problems, which is why I believe MOST of what was written in this story, because I have met Him and remember it, but I wasn't in heaven when I met Him when He healed me miraculously and completely to astound many.

This book is about a little boy, who while in surgery, spent time in heaven with Jesus and many other people. I loved learning how God uses this little guy to help his own parents in various ways and it was beautiful and all pointed to the glory of God. I have no doubt that this child definitely spent time with Jesus and others in heaven. Although because I am now a grown woman, it is hard for me to "be like a child" to understand some of the concepts.

I also don't remember Jesus' eyes looking greenish/bluish at all, for he looked middle eastern and dark in appearance to me and I remember bright eyes, but not of that color (a darker brownish tone but bright). The drawing that supposedly is of Jesus . . .my memory of being 5 is hazy and I can see how it definitely looks similar to Him compared to most drawings I have seen, but I cannot say for certain that it is Him, though I wish I could say so. I don't believe that Jesus' portrait is important or should be drawn at all, honestly. Who He is matters. . .but hey, apparently other people feel it necessary to relate to His appearance, while I felt His Power and feel that is more important.

Regardless, this was a good book, especially in the first half of it, I was so stuck on the pages. I read it all within just a few hours in less than a day's time of reading the pages in general. The story really speaks about that heaven IS for real and the miracle of God being true is what is important. This child was spared and though I don't know how much he remembers now, as I don't remember everything from my own experience now, but then again he spent far more time with Jesus than I did so that could be beneficial for me. I've never doubted Jesus' existence BECAUSE I met Him, so I am sure the same will go for Colton even when he struggles in life and in temptations. He's probably about 14 years old now, so I do wonder what his life is like since all this and how clear it is in his mind, but it was a good book, as stated.
