Brandon's Book Club Entry #1

Be aware.
This book will shake you to your core.

If you don't already believe in an afterlife, where heaven is like a rainbow of colors, where everyone has wings and flies everywhere, and where our loved ones go to wait for us, after reading this book you will become a believer.

This is the story of a three year old boy who suffered from appendicitis, unbeknownst to his parents. He becomes extremely ill and is taken to hospital where he ended up having surgery. As you can imagine, his parents were extremely distraught. A few months after recovery, the young boy proceeds to tell stories, including details that only someone who had been there would be able to tell, including where his mom and dad were while he was in surgery. Descriptive details about prayers offered up, how God had answered those prayers, how Jesus sends down power to those who ask for it, how our loved ones wait for us and watch over us.
This book was wonderfully reaffirming and a blessing. I highly recommend it for those of you who continue to search for a higher message and inner peace from the struggles of life.

This young man is able to describe every detail in his very young focus. Is is truly quite extraordinary. It gives me an immense amount of faith knowing that those who have gone on before me are cheering me on, with their wings spread, sending me positive energy. I dream of the day when our paths will come back together no matter how much I miss them right now. Knowing that Jesus answers those prayers, no matter how angry they may be, no matter how selfish they may seem, he answers those prayers by sending us power and energy.

Truly a blessing... that came at the right moment in my life...at the right time and place...
