by Todd Burpo
Colton Burpo lies in a hospital bed, barely four years old and fighting for his life. The surgery that saves him marks the beginning of something his parents never expected. In the weeks that follow, this young boy begins sharing details about an extraordinary experience. He tells his father Todd, a small-town pastor, and his mother Sonja about things he witnessed while hovering between life and death. Colton describes events and people he could not possibly have known about. His revelations challenge everything his family thought they understood about faith and the afterlife. As Colton continues to share his memories, Todd and Sonja must decide whether to believe their son's incredible account. The family grapples with questions that reach far beyond their small Nebraska community, forcing them to examine the very foundations of their beliefs.
