Read this book.

Seriously. Do it. Heaven is for Real is an easy read book. I read the book in its entirety in two 45 minute settings. I am not generally one to read 'religious' books however this book was passed to my mom and then to me. There are a few things note worthy here.

1.) While I don't know this family specifically it references Ulysses, KS several times and that's my home town.
2.) Other Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado towns are ones I have been to or know of.
3.) It is written in a way that seems conversational. It feels like a story about people I know.

I feel like these three things paint such a clear image of Heaven. I also feel like this combined with the experiences I have had in the last 10 months I identify with heaven in such new way.
