Corinne Beale- Heaven is For Real Reviews (Outside Reading)


The movie Heaven is For Real is a movie that was just released that tells the story of three-year-old Colton Burpo. The movie is based off of the book and is a true story. For many Christians this book is inspirational in confirming their beliefs of heaven, while for non-believers, this book is bogus. I wrote my senior seminar last semester on Near Death Experiences and what happens in the brain biologically speaking when someone approaches the brink of death. While there are many scientific theories that can try to disprove the validity of this experience, it is hard to read something so powerful and ignore it.
            After the uproar of the book a few years ago, filmmakers decided to create a movie based upon this book. Along with the book, the movie has received controversial reviews and ratings. ABC reviewed the film, and determined that this film was designed for a faith-based audience. I suspect, however, that the movie will appeal to other viewers who are interested in what the rage is about, as I think this move will capture the hearts and minds of it’s viewers.
