1. Heaven is for Real Todd Burpo & Lynn VincentHeaven is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear. Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reeeally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us. Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle..

10. Forgotten God Francis ChanWhy do we try to live as if the Hoy Spirit isn't real? Are we afraid of truly being led by the Spirit, and all the implications therein? Pastor Francis Chan invites us to change all that and to embrace a Spirit-led life. "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit..." We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today's church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church's power-the Holy Spirit. Forgotten God demonstrates how we've ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough Scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan's invitation to stop and remember the One we've forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.
