As Colton’s claims become more and more extravagant, Todd finds the courage to share his son’s experiences with the world…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Based on the bestselling novel, Heaven Is For Real offers a unique perspective on the concept of faith and how the claims of an innocent child can be interpreted as evidence of a higher power (if any at all).
