"My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?" John 14:2

The world places their hope in pop cultural near death experiences seeking to believe something eternal and glorious exists after death. The desire to have the "ears tickled" by the smoke and mirrors of crafty "myths" leads to a slippery slide down the road of junk ideology designed to entertain and muddle the "truth" (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

God's infallible Word makes it clear Heaven is real and as believers our citizenship (Philippians 3:20) and hope (Colossians 1:5) is there. A child's purported account should not make it more so to believing Christians who place their trust and confidence in the Lord.

We Don't Have to Read the Book or See the Movie to Know Heaven Is Real by Nancy Guthrie

"Have you read Heaven Is for Real?" I've been asked this question more times than I can count. So let me just tell you—no, I haven't. I was actually asked by the publisher to read the manuscript to offer an endorsement before the book came out, but I declined. And clearly the lack of an endorsement from me has not hindered sales.

I've been hoping that the hoopla surrounding this book and so many of the other "died and went to heaven and came back" books would end. And then I went to the theater over the holidays and saw previews for the upcoming movie based on Heaven Is for Real. So before you ask if I am going to see the movie, let me just tell you—no, I'm not.
