For those touchy feely types out there who may think I am attacking a little boy by not believing his story: Where is it written in The Bible that we have to believe everything that comes along? Are we not told to test all things? That would include whatever comes out of the mouths of anyone, and yes, that includes children as well. Do I believe he is lying? I can not say. Do I believe he may have had some kind or experience. Possibly. The point is this>>> His experience (true or not) does NOT line up with the Word of God. Please do not tell me how his book blessed you. Or gave you peace. If so, then you have put this book above the Word of God. John tells us in Revelation what heaven is like. Why do we need more than the Word? We do not.
As far as peace, the Word of God says, “He will keep in perfect peace whose mind is stayed upon Him (God).” NOT if you find the right books to read.
As you watch the video, ask yourself do you really believe this little child at the time knew absoultely nothing about his dead sister. Think about this…we here things all day long. Even in passing. Things stay in our sub-conscious only to be awaken at a later date. No one can tell me he never heard his parents talking about his dead sister. It only makes seense that the parents would talk about their lost child. And yes, that means in the presence of a 3 or 4 year old. So, I think they lie when they say he knew nothing about her.
The same about his grandfather who he had never met. Do you think for one moment these parents NEVER showed their son a picture of his deceased grandfather?
Jesus had “sea-blue eyes.” Uh yeah, right. Does not quite fit the image of a man who was a Jew, now, does it? Why do all the jesus’s have blue eyes? Sorry, I don’t buy it.
“And a smile that lit up the heavens.” Trite at the very least.
The parents can say this is not about money, but it is. There is a lot to gain by having a best seller. Money, fame, etc.
I find it very odd that they use almost word for word the very same title that Choo Thomas did for her book, “Heaven is so real.” What would be the purpose of this? It would be very easily found in any search engine after CT already blazed the trail ahead of them.
The world is being primed for massive deception, people. These so-called heaven experiences are just one more thing to make people hunger — not for the things of God — but for experiences. Think about it.

It’s kind of strange his father is a Pentlecostal preacher,this is pure lies and nonsense but the money rolls in.

I agree.It’s scary and wormy to say the least esp the similarity in title between Choo’s ‘book’ and this one.
P.S Please, pray for Christians in Northern Nigeria being attacked by Boko Haram. I live in the South of Nigeria and we are feeling its effect too!

Jesus Wins, I am not familiar with Boko Haram. I will have to do some googling. In the meantime, when having done all, STAND. Stand for the truth and may God be with you.

There are so many having dreams, visions, speaking of being taken to Heaven today. People are running to hear such things. Instead, believe scripture. I hear about so many giving prophecies, some giving several a day. When they do not come to pass, it is ignored or explained away. Scripture tells how to know a prophet, all comes to pass =ALL a true prophet says! One fellow explains it like this, we see through a glass darkly but will one day face to face=I do not believe this is speaking of prophecies. There has to be discernment. If one claims he is a prophet, where is the evidence? We can be deceived. Go with scripture, it gets it right. I do not believe everyone who makes such claims. However, I can not say no one has had dreams or visions for scripture speaks of this in the last days but one must be discerning for all who make such claims may be deceived, we could be deceived. I will not say this young man has not had an experience. Should we then write a book? We do not run after the experiences of others, we seek out scripture. That is where we need to go to learn. Truth we can believe is in the Word of God.
