If you were raised to believe (or not believe) in another manner, your experience will follow what you were taught. If you are a Christian your experience will follow what you were taught from the bible. Whenever someone reports a NDE, they are usually consistent with that persons belief system. When Colton is in "Heaven" He sees dead relatives he had never met before. Some compelling things do happen that a lines itself more with an out of body experience, he knows what his parents are doing in other rooms for instance.
He was taken into emergency surgery, during which he has his NDE/out of body experience. He was dehydrated, and of course he hadn't eaten in days. His appendix has ruptured and the poison circulated through him. By the time they get it in gear and get him to a new doctor the boy is very close to death. Instead of ripping the child out of bed and heading to a different hospital immediately, they wait 3 or 5 days (can't remember which). Even though the Burpos question whether it is appendicitis (they have a strong suspicion it is) the incompetent doctor informs them that all the tests are negative for appendicitis. His parents eventually get him to a hospital where tests are administered.
So Colton gets really really sick, vomiting every 30 minutes. I have an open mind about this kind of thing, but.awe c'mon. I do not doubt for a second that this child experienced something, be it a near death experience or an illness spawned delusion, but I take issue with how his story comes about. This is a book about a three year old boy, Colton, who comes close to death (never pronounced clinically dead, as in most near death experiences ), Claims that he hung out with Jesus, God, John the Baptist, Gabriel, the Holy Ghost (I've always wondered about the holy ghost), his great grandpa, his dead sister, and Jesus's rainbow horse, and the ubiquitous men in white beards on giant thrones. But this book bugged me so much I just have to have my say. I am reluctant to review this since I have friends who loved this book, and my mother recommended it.
