Re: "Heaven is for Real" Colton's NDE at Age 4

The next two verifications impress me the most:
VERIFICATION#2: A few days later, Colton asks Todd: "Dad, you had a grandpa named Pop, ddin't you?" Colton had never met or even heard of his great grandfather, who had died in a car accident. Todd confirms this. Colton: "Yeah, I got to stay with him in heaven. You were really close to him, huh, Dad?” Todd's Dad was bipolar; so Todd spent a lot of time on Pop's farm. Todd tells him that he and Pop used to take the dog out to hunt rabbits. Colton replies, “Yeah, he told me.” I wish Todd had not volunteered this detail and instead elicited it from Colton by asking about Pop's recounting of life with young Todd.
Todd's wife, Sonja then asks Colton: “Did Jesus say anything about Dad becoming a pastor.” Colton: “Oh yes, Jesus said he went to Daddy and told Daddy he wanted him to become a pastor, and Daddy said Yes, and Jesus was really happy.” When Todd was a boy (age 13) he was attending a youtn service in which the pastor challenged the youth to consider being pastors. Todd says he then heard an inner voice say: “That's you, Todd. That's what I want you to do.”
Later, Colton says, “I've seen power shot down to Daddy...Jesus shoots down power for Daddy when he's talking.” Similarly, in Betty Eadie's NDE, she reports seeing prays rising like lasers towards heaven.
fTodd was disappointed when he later showed Colton his favorite photo of Pop, but the boy didn't recognize him. Colton: “Dad, nobody's old in heaven and nobody wears glasses.” Several weeks later, Todd got his Mom to mail a copy of an old black and white photo of 4 people, including Grandma Ellen in her 20s (now in her 80s) and Pop at age 29. “Hey, Colton, come here and take a look at this, Colton. What do you think.” “Hey! How did you get a picture of Pop?” “Colton, don't you recognize anyone else in the picture?” “No.” I leaned over and pointed to my grandma (Ellen): Colton had seen Grandma Ellen just a couple of months ago. I leaned over and pointed to my grandma: “Who do you think that is?” “I don't know.” “That's grandma Ellen.” Colton, with a skeptical expression: “That doesn't look like Gramdma Ellen.” Todd: “Well, she used to look like that.”
Todd later asked the 4-year-old a trick question about heaven: “So when it got dark and you went home with Pop, what did you two do?” Colton: “God and Jesus light up heaven. It never gets dark. It's always bright.” That claim is made in the Book of Revelation about which Colton knew nothing.
VERIFICATION #3: h. Colton later claims: “I have 2 sisters.” His mother, Sonja, replies: “No, you have one, Cassie—and, do you mean your cousin Traci?” Colton: “No, I have 2 sisters. You had a baby die in your tummy, didn't you?” Colton had never been told about this miscarriage. Colton: “It's OK, God adopted her.” Sonja: “You mean Jesus?” No, Mommy, His Dad did.” Colton describes this heavenly sister as hving dark hair and being smaller than Cassie, adding: “In heaven, this little girl ran up to me and she wouldn't stop hugging me.” Todd: “What was the little girl's name?” “She doesn't have a name. You guys didn't name her.” True. Later, an 8th grade girl was babysitting for Todd's children and burst into tears after seeing Colton cry because he missed his sister. Ali thought he meant Cassie, but he meant the sister who had died in childbirth before Colton was born.
