At the age of four Colton suffered a near death experience. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery for a ruptured appendix. Though he never actually encountered death for any number of minutes, Colton later relayed his unbelievable experience in Heaven with his father, Pastor Todd Burpo, played by Greg Kinnear.
Colton explained to his dad that while he was in surgery, he visited with Jesus and saw the beauty Heaven had to offer. Of course, Todd wanted to believe his son but everything being uttered from his mouth seemed virtually impossible.
Throughout the movie, I was completely taken by the incredible amount of faith exhibited by a four year old little boy. His accounts were so vivid, it was hard not to believe what he was saying.
If ever your faith in God is tested, watch this film. It is guaranteed to inspire you.
