Likely, sentimental and deceptive.

What an incredible pile of inaccurate, wrong words in your post.

Either you have not read the book . . .

or . . .

you have no idea how to read it with a Biblical yet fair-minded mind-set.

There are verifiable details in the story that could NOT have occurred any other way than for the story to be true.

Willfully blind, Biased ignorance can be a destructive, ugly thing.

I have not read the book. I judged it not worth the time.

There are verifiable details in the story

Not at all contrary to my assertion. Think about it.

Willfully blind, Biased ignorance

You're the expert.

Heaven. "The bible tells us of the existence of a realm our mortal eyes cannot see..... "

Quite an amazing feat to maintain such unscratched polished granit surfaces.

Sounds like at his age,

he’s about to discover how horribly wrong all his books were on so many things.

I feel sorry for this boy. He seems to be mislead by his father who’s out to make a buck or two.

Maybe next there will be a first-hand account about their dog's trip to heaven to help verify the little boy's story. It seems there are some people here who need something to latch onto.

Nah.. If the dad is smart, he'll make this a trilogy in four parts. Next will be the younger sister and then part 3 will be about the dog going to heaven and going "woof, woof, dog darn it, the little excrescence was telling the truth" and then the dog comes back and tells his master "woof, woof, hau, hau, grrr,grrr" and the master translates it to describe all the splendors of heaven

Part 4 will be the magnum opus when Jesse Duplantis or Benny Hinn come to visit the family and listen to the dog speak and then they get a whole new revelation by reading between the Woof-Woofs.

Once that is done, they can re-release the first 3 with additional excerpts of the little kid playing ball with the cherubs and the dog learning that in heaven he's not allowed to scent-mark the trees.

There must be some way to get Vogons into this story.

Well it's easy for you to believe, but what do you think the dog does when he learns that in heaven he's not allowed to scent-mark the trees?

plus, all the cats are in hell.. ;-P

That's a whole 'nother book series, there. Their cat can give its first-hand account of its trip to the nether world.
