Colton Burpo: Heaven Is Real - Where Is He Now? The Full Story
Is it possible for a four-year-old to visit heaven and return to tell the tale? Colton Burpo's story challenges our perceptions of life, death, and the afterlife, sparking both fervent belief and intense skepticism.
Colton Burpo became an overnight sensation when his father, Todd Burpo, chronicled his son's extraordinary experience in the book "Heaven is for Real." According to Colton, during an emergency appendectomy at the tender age of four, he left his body and journeyed to heaven. He recounted meeting Jesus, angels, and even his miscarried sister, whom he had never known. The book, published in May 2011, became a New York Times bestseller, later inspiring a movie that touched millions worldwide. But what happened to the young boy who claimed to have seen heaven? Where is he now, and what does he believe today?
