No, this isn't the story of Colton Burpo, the four-year-old boy who supposedly traveled to heaven during an emergency appendectomy. His experience is recorded in a wildly popular book read around the world. He doesn't know them, but they are all excited to finally meet him.Įventually, this heavenly expedition ends, and he awakens back on earth. The visitor then encounters a parade of faces from earth. The Lord's face projects a youthful radiance, and he greets the new arrival with warmth and tenderness. The first person he meets is Jesus, clothed all in white. He arrives at a city whose walls beam with light. Angels usher him out of the only world he's ever known and up into a land filled with beautiful flowers and trees. As death approaches, he leaves his body behind. ![]()
