In 2003, Colton Burpo, a three-and-a-half-year-old boy, experienced a three-minute near-death experience while undergoing surgery for appendicitis. After four months, this son of a pastor from Nebraska says he saw heaven during this experience. He would have sat on Jesus' knees, met angels and his great-grandfather. Colton's father, initially skeptical, gives credence to his son's words, which earns him the distrust, if not the derision, of those around him. A final revelation from the child about a sister, who died at birth, whose brief existence he was unaware of, confirms his vision.
