Red Markers

This book keeps surprising me more and more ! Colton, the young boy claims he went to heaven while he was in the hospital.  He dad who is a pastor is of course amazed by how is preschooler is sharing his experiences and observations Jesus and angels that he saw.  For me, I have grown up in a family that has always gone to church on a regular basis so I have naturally become a Christian myself.  I think that is why this book interests me. 
Colton claims....
  • Jesus had a "purple thing hanging from his shoulder" and the rest of his clothing was white.  In the Bible purple was the color of kings and Jesus wore clothes whiter than everyone
  • Jesus baptized his cousin- in the Bible, Jesus baptized his cousin, John the Baptist
  • Jesus had "red markers" on his hands and feet- This is where Jesus was hung by when being crucified.  The red markers stood for the blood.
  • While he was in heaven, he did "homework" then later explained that Jesus was his teacher and also taught other angels
  • The angels had lights (described as halos) and Jesus were a "gold thing" on his head- a crown.
  • He had wings along with everyone else and other kids.  But his wings were small. 
Colton also described when he came back to the real-world away from heaven.  Previously before returning, Colton's father was in a room by himself, isolated, screaming at God for doing such horrible things to his family.  He believed he was alone but in reality, God was answering his prayer.  While Colton screamed "Daddy, Don't Go !" He instantly became angry with God for not letting him hold his son.  But really, Colton was "sitting on God's lap."  After surgery Colton was screaming for his dad because he wanted to make sure his prayer was answered.  He quickly after got to hold his son.

This book is soooo weirdddd.
