I’ve never heard of the book. In a way I do believe Colton because anybody can go to heaven and come back. People might think it’s a money scheme. They might want to get money.
I believe that the little boy went to heaven while he was in surgery, or at least what he believed was heaven. I hope parents wouldn’t put something like that on their four year old son, just for money. The family seems like good people so I really couldn't see them do that but you never know. I think the story is amazing!
Yes, I've read the book. I do believe that Colton did go to Heaven while in surgery at the age of 4. The reason why is because if you saw it with your own eyes then you saw it and you know for a fact that your not making it up. Before my grandma passed away, she had gotten sick and she claims that she saw Heaven's Gates and she told us that story over and over to all of her grandchildren including me. I don't think it is simply a money-making scheme. I don't think the little boy would do that.
Before now I hadn't heard of this book. I don't think its up to us to judge whether he is lying or not, its between him and God.
No, I have never heard or read this book. Yes, I do believe he went to heaven; no one could make up a story like this. I don’t believe that it is a money making scheme, if it turns out to be one then a lot of people will be disappointed but I don’t think it is.
I have not heard of the book until now. I believe that it is possible that he went to heaven. My mother claimed she had a similar experience when she had her surgery. I don't think that this is a money making scheme. They seem to not care about that at all.
I haven't heard of the book or read it either. I believe in Colton, because he seemed to tell the truth. I don't think that this is a simple money-making scheme because many hope that this is something real.
I believe that his story is real, simply becuase he was so young, and it seems like he knew what he was talking about. I don't think it's a money making scheme, because I don't think this little boy would lie about something like this, especially when he was so close to death at the time, it happened.
Keith Bryant: wow what an incredible story, it is almost to much to take in, to even think about. If this young boy did in fact see heaven he is a very lucky child. Anyone can’t help but wonder is there really a heaven, yes people may say there is definitely a heaven but you can’t honestly know. Then when someone like Colton comes along and supposedly sees heaven it really makes you wonder.
I have heard about this on the news but that’s it .I kind of believe him but thin I’m kind of skeptic about it. But it could al so be a nouther scheme, so I don’t know what too really thank of it.

I’ve heard of the book Heaven is for Real but never read it thoroughly; we read a book summary in my English class. I think that Colton truly believes he went to Heaven during his surgery. It could’ve been a dream, or it could’ve really happened, but either way it gave him hope for survival and for his future. He came from a very strong religious background and what he believes he “saw” could’ve easily came from the continuous Christian images he was reminded of. I don’t believe that this is just a money-making scheme because this is what this little boy really believes he witnessed and he’s using his “experience” to comfort those who are on death’s door or people who have already lost loved ones to remind them that they will be reunited one day.
No, I have not read or even heard about the book, Heaven Is For Real. I kind of do believe him. Strange things happen everyday. No one really knows the truth but Colton who experienced it. Nevertheless, he was 4 years-old when this happened. A child’s imagination is unbelievable. However, I do not think he could pull out of thin air some of the things he saw and experienced. Definitely if he never even knew about them. I do not think this is simply a money-making scheme.
I have never heard of the book but I do believe this little boy went to heaven and came back because it has happened before. I have heard of the book 90 Minutes in Heaven and I have also heard of a book where a guy went to hell. It is extremely possible for someone to experience these things because God can decide whether he wants you now or whether you can be useful to him in the world. I don't think they are doing this for money but I think it is great that they are sharing it with the world.
I never heard of this book until now. I believe that he really saw Heaven. Because it is very common to have an outer-body experience during surgery. I do not think that it is a money-making scheme. Because he seems like the person that would not lie about this type of thing.
Until today I have never heard of this book. I believe him I don’t see why he has any reason to lie. If they are doing it just to get money. They are really bad people to tell there kid to lie for them like that. And if so they will have to take that up with the man upstairs.
-No I haven't heard of the book heaven is real, and yes I believe him , like I mean how can a Four year old make something up like this. No I don't believe it’s a money scheme but if it is that so trifling for somebody to put that together.
I have never heard this story before. Without a doubt in my mind, people have slipped away and seen glimpses of Heaven or dreamed about it. I've actually read a very interesting article on a a senior who had a dream about it, wrote a paper on the dream, and then died within a couple months. As scary or un real as it may seem, I believe it. I don't think it's a "money-making scheme," although I'm sure there are plenty people who would beg to differ.
No, I have never heard of the book before. It is really hard to say if you believe it or not because of what people would do these days to get money. I want to say that I believe him because, there are people who have written books on seeing heaven during surgery. I don't think this is a "money-making scheme", because he was only four years old; hopefully he wouldn't lie about something that amazing.
