What Happens When We Die? 6 Testimonies From Those Who’ve Gone Beyond

#1 Four-Year-Old Meets Great-Grandfather and Unborn Sister

When Colton Burpo’s appendix burst, his father struggled with God. “Is this how you treat your pastors?” he asked. But unknown to him, Colton was actually experiencing something miraculous. Four months after Colton was discharged, his parents finally listened to the testimony of their son: he had met Jesus, clothed in white, even seeing the wounds from his crucifixion. Colton’s reassurance came from his dad’s grandfather, Pop – whom he had met in Heaven. His experience, including meeting the sister his mom miscarried years earlier, can be read in the bestseller Heaven is for Real.

For just part of Colton’s heavenly journey, check out this clip of him and his parents talking of that day.
