*The Friday 56 at Freda's Voice.
Heaven is for Real by Todd Burpo
The family trip when our nightmare began was supposed to be a celebration. ---Opening line.
"'Colton,' I began, 'do you know why you are in trouble?' "Yeah, because I didn't share,' he said...'That's right. You can't do that, Colton. You've got to treat people better than that.' Colton raised his eyes and looked at me. 'Yeah, I know, Dad, Jesus told me I had to be nice.' His words caught me by surprise. It was the way he said it : Jesus told me..." p. 56This book is a very touching book about a four-year-old boy who has a life after death experience but comes back to tell others about what happened to him in Heaven.

This week's question:
Q. Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).
A. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis... I read the whole series as a child/adolescent and I loved them but I missed a lot of the symbolism which I caught when I reread the series as an adult. I have since read the whole series to my (now grown) children when they were young and again when each new movie is released. I love them. They really speak to my heart.
