Quicklets: Learn More. Read Less.

Heaven Is For Real is a non-fiction inspirational Christian bestseller written by Todd Burpo about his four-year-old son Colton's trip to heaven and back. Todd Burpo works as a pastor at Wesleyan Crossroads Church in Imperial, Nebraska. He wrote Heaven Is For Real with the assistance of Lynn Vincent, who has authored or co-authored nine books, including Same Kind of Different as Me and Sarah Palin's biography Going Rogue: An American Life.

After Burpo's son was hospitalized, he began astounding his parents with descriptions of heaven, including meetings with long-dead relatives. Todd Burpo put his son's statements into book form because he wanted others to know the truth about God and heaven. Three weeks after it was released in November 2010, Heaven Is For Real debuted at #3 on the New York Times bestseller list. By January 2011, there were 20,000 copies in print, and the book hit #1 on the New York Times list.
