That is why prefer to keep my options open rather than an outright dismissal of it.Conrade Yap, (Dr)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12256834680709396244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263246662222347626.post-83479291304705071112011-12-02T18:24:52.873-08:002011-12-02T18:24:52.873-08:00Heaven is For Real, is the (supposed) account of C...Heaven is For Real, is the (supposed) account of Colton Burpo - son of Todd Burpo, a pastor in Imperial Nebraska. When I use the word "supposed" in parentheses above, I do not wish to imply that there is any kind of fraud being perpetrated in this story. I use it only because a lot of what is reported in the book (beyond the verifiable historical facts), is all dependent upon what may or may not be the genuine experience, or dreams, or hallucinations or combinations of these - of 4 year old Colton Burpo. I do not use it either to impugn the sincerity of the Burpo family in any way. I use it because "experiences" are tricky things. And how we interpret our experiences may or may not be accurate. And herein rests a key problem with this little -quick reading and fun book.Espanahttp://dpurposeofruning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
