I read the first 17 chapters in one sitting....

....And I finished reading it the next night!
Have you heard of this book?
Have you read it?
It is an amazing story, really, about a little boys account of his visit to Heaven during an emergency operation to repair his body after a ruptured appendix.
It made me laugh, and cry, and cry out  ~ to a real God who still performs miracles like this daily.
And it made think about how I want to be different, knowing what I know about eternity...and knowing that I still have so very much to learn.
I highly recommend it...it is sure to make you think!

  6. Oh my...not sure if I can handle this one. Or maybe I really need it. Not sure which.

    And no. I didn't realize you are an OB/GYN nurse!!! Shoot! I could have saved myself all that anxiety if I had only given you a call?

  7. I've never heard of the book, but it sounds interesting. Must be a good read if you got through it so quickly. Are you a fast reader? I have a little ADD when it comes to reading, so a book needs to capture me pretty quick or forget it.

  11. Great book. Read it a while back. I do love how miracles like this happen every single day. I pray that everyone knows Jesus in some way. He is real and He is awesome. Heaven is going to be beautiful!
