Todd Burpo, author of “Heaven Is for Real,” spoke at Samford University Legacy League’s 2012 scholarship luncheon and an evening event on campus, both Jan. 26.
Both events benefited the Legacy League’s scholarship fund for Samford students.
In “Heaven Is for Real,” Burpo recounts the story of his son Colton’s journey into heaven while undergoing surgery for a near-fatal illness in 2003. After he survived, the then 4-year-old astounded his parents with his description of heaven and details about deceased family members he had not met.
Burpo is pastor of Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Imperial, Neb.
