    • Trivia
      The Lithuanian painting girl who appears at the beginning and ending of the movie, played by Ursula Clark, is based on the real-life Akiane Kramarik (born in July 9, 1994, in Mount Morris, Illinois), a girl who affirmed to have experienced an NDE and to have met Jesus in heaven. In addition, the painting about Jesus shown in the movie is the real painting made by Kramarik, called Prince of Peace.
    • Goofs
      The events in the film took place prior to 2004 when the pastors last child was born, so the grave stone for the dead Marine should not have read "Birth 1990 - Death 2009".
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Todd Burpo: Is heaven a hope? Or as real as the earth and sky? I once asked my grandfather that question. And he said by the time he knew the answer, it would be too late for him to tell me. The day would come when I asked that question again, staring into the eyes of my son.

    I'm confused...
    ...from the reviews of people defending this story and minimizing the opinions of "non-believers."

    The boy came out and stated it was all made up and anyone who markets the book should repent, lol. The publisbsAll pretty typical if you ask me. Religious scammers trying to separate you from your money by giving you insight into their afterlife. Not surprised in people actually believing it either.
