I am currently reading the book Heaven is for Real, by Todd Burpo, and I am really enjoying it so far.  It is about a family going through a few tough times, and just when they think it's over and they can relax, the four-year-old son, Colton, comes close to dying.  The book goes back and forth through time, describing events that led up to this predicament, and things that happened as a result of it.  The main idea,  or event, that is talked about is Colton's visit to Heaven.  The narrator, Colton's father, explains what Colton tells him about it.  While he was in surgery, Colton saw himself lying there on the table being worked on, and his parents in other rooms praying and calling loved ones.  Colton told his father how angels sang to him to clam him down, and how he got to hang out with Jesus, and meet all kinds of people.  I'm not very far into this book, but I can already tell that it is going to be a good read.
