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!

    New reader of your blog, you are now the 5th person to mention this book. I don't think I am ready for the book but I find it's interesting that I have heard about it so often.

    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?

    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.

    My hubby just read this (actually he listened to it commuting to work) and he loved it too. I am hoping to add it to my book list soon.

    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!

    I've seen it but haven't read it! It looks like I need to be using up one of my Barnes and Noble gift cards! Sounds wonderful.
