				"What 
				if you have an experience so far beyond your own experience, 
				it's irrational. 
				What then?" - Todd Burpo 
				Why watch this? There 
				is nothing more real than the words of an innocent child. 
				Plot Summary: 
				This sweet story centers on a small-town pastor and his wife in 
				Nebraska facing financial hardship and personal difficulties. 
				Their young son undergoes emergency surgery for a ruptured 
				appendix, enduring a near-fatal ordeal but miraculously 
				recovering. Afterward, the boy begins to reveal details about a 
				supposed journey to heaven during his surgery, sharing things he 
				couldn't possibly know and challenging his parents' beliefs and 
				faith. Dad's Preview: 
				This film crosses over the line, and could make some people uncomfortable. The 
				fact that a child is involved changes things. Young Colton Burpo 
				is not a 
				greedy televangelist or a maneuvering politician. During 
				appendicitis surgery, Colton flat-lined and experienced something very real 
				to him. As we travel 
				our life journey, these little moments can be grander than 
				anything. They can even ground a person's faith. This film features an 
				all-star cast and it's worth seeing, whether you believe 
				or not.
