"Heaven is for Real" movie quotes bring the best selling book of the same name to the big screen in this Christian drama film. Written by Chris Parker, the film is an adaptation of the novel by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. Directed by Randall Wallace, "Heaven is for Real" opened in theaters just in time for Easter, on April 16, 2014.
In "Heaven is for Real," following an emergency surgery, which doctors did not expect him to survive, four-year-old boy Colton Burpo (Connor Corum) shares with his family that during the time he was in surgery, he visited heaven. At first, his parents, pastor Todd Burpo (Greg Kinnear) and wife Sonja (Kelly Reilly) are hesitant to believe him but Colton seems to know details that he couldn't possibly know if his story was made up.
Specifically, Colton mentions meeting a sister, who died during a miscarriage Sonja suffered, and his great grandfather, who died 30 years before Colton was ever born, neither of which Colton had previously known about. Unable to deny what they are experiencing, the family shares news of this miracle with others in town, something that has mixed results.
