When three-year-old Colton Burpo’s appendix burst, doctors didn’t think he would survive surgery and warned his parents to expect the worst.
Distraught, his preacher dad Todd shut himself in a hospital room and started yelling at God in despair.
Colton not only pulled through, against all the odds, but was well enough to go home just 17 days later.
And he told his parents how – while the surgeons were fighting to save him – he visited heaven, sat on Jesus’s lap, patted his rainbow-striped horse and was serenaded by winged angels.
Now the youngster’s extraordinary story has been turned into a Hollywood movie called Heaven Is For Real.
And it caused a sensation over Easter in America, taking almost £13million at the box office and trouncing Johnny Depp’s latest film Transcendance
