I’ve also read the book and found some things, like the wings, a little questionable. But one has to remember that this was a 4 year old’s experience and his interpretations are that of a 4 year old. There was one thing that stood out that really caught my attention and that was his experience with his sister who died as the result of a miscarriage. It really touched me because it brought to mind all the millions of babies whose lives have been taken from them through the atrocity of abortion. With all those millions and millions of “babies” who are now with Christ as a result of murder by their mothers and the abortion doctors, I have a have a hard time understanding how Christ can ever forgive this abominable sin. But, then it’s hard for me to believe how He forgives someone like me too.
When people ask me why we stopped at one child, I tell them that's not true, we have a second child we have not met yet. But we will, and what a glorious reunion that will be.
My favorite part of the book was the little boys innocent telling about Jesus and His Father beside him on the Thrown. “Jesus wants us to see his Daddy” is how he put it. You know, I think he is exactly right - and there is not a Pastor, Priest, or Rabi on this planet that could have put it any better than this little 4-year old.
It comforts me to know that
millions of people aborted are in Heaven . . . many of whom would have grown up and sinned their way into hell big time.
Since you read the book and were moved when Colton met his stillborn sister, I have a few questions?
How old was the sister in Heaven? 1 year old? 18 years old? 60 years old?
And does it make sense she is the age she is in Heaven when she died as a tiny infant? Why is she the age she is in Heaven as opposed to some other age?
