This book is such a good read. I must have read it in a day!
As a parent, this book makes you think. It is the worst thing that could happen to you, your child, and your family.
The authors are a father and son who were on their way back home from church one Sunday and got into a car accident. The boy at the times was six years old, which is the age of my oldest right now. The book goes into detail of the thoughts of the parents, the medical personnel, and the boy who went to Heaven and came back again!
The pain, fear, questions the parents were facing make you think about your own situation and what you would go through if this happened to you. I could not imagine what I would be feeling, and I applaud them from being able to make it through . But, this family did which gives hope to the rest of us.
I am not the one to pick up a book about people "claiming" to go to Heaven, Hell, or to have "died" and "came back". I just don't know whether to believe their stories because we don't know what there after death and if I knew what there was after death(because of some sort of near death experience or whatever happened to me) I would not be telling people about it. I would share my experience with my family, but nobody else.
So, I never know whether to believe these people or think, what are they thinking telling what it is like there, won't the Lord our God be upset?
The only thing I didn't like about this book was the son's accounts. It states in the book he started telling his story when he awoke, which was when he was six years old. Having a six year old, I know what their vocabulary is and what it isn't. Some of his "story" which is supposedly his "own" words, just don't seem like a child of six years old to me.
All in all, this is a good book to read, but I don't believe it as much as they would want me to.
