So, instead of being overwhelmed by all of the things coming at them, Todd and Sonja Burpo decided to create Heaven is for Real Ministries as a response to all the God was doing in their lives. It belonged to the God of the universe that met with their three year old son. All of this.this story, this book, this movie.did not belong to them. Sonja took him to the doctor, who told her it was the stomach flu. Unbeknownst to his parents at the time, this was the first sign of appendicitis. And the icing on the cake? Movie studios started to call to talk about what it would look like to turn the Burpo's story into a major motion picture.īut in the midst of all of the insanity, one thing remained true to the Burpo family. According to the Heaven is for Real true story, on Thursday, February 27, 2003, Colton Burpo, then three years and ten months old, complained to his mother Sonja that his stomach hurt. Publishing companies wanted more resources and books to be written. Congregations and organizations all over the globe wanted the Burpos to leave their comfortable town of 2000 to come and share their story in person. Overnight, Heaven is for Real became the fastest selling Christian book of all time. Running after three children, pastoring a church, fighting fires and helping install garage doors was plenty.but then came this little yellow book. the life of the Burpo family was starting to get a little crazy.
