Tip#750: Be Inspired by Amazing True Stories, Part 2 - Heaven is for Real

I recently saw a video clip from Britain’s Got Talent of a magician who absolutely blew my mind. Canadian, Darcy Oake did some jaw-dropping tricks and I was left stunned and thrilled. I’ve watched the clip several times and ultimately I was just inspired knowing there are fantastic, amazing things in life to see. See: Darcy Oake video clip

Movie trailers can also leave me in a state of awe like the one for Heaven is for Real released a few months ago. I got chills watching it and have seen many times in anticipation of the full film. See: movie trailer

Heaven is for Real (2014)

The Christian drama film, Heaven is for Real, is based on the true story and best-selling book of a 4 year old boy Colton (Connor Corum) who says he visited Heaven during an emergency surgery. His highly detailed stories of angels, meeting Jesus and other relatives shakes up the beliefs of the townspeople and his father Todd (Greg Kinnear) and mother Sonja (Kelly Reilly). The story also focuses on how Todd, a pastor, tries to make sense of his son’s profound and unexplainable near-death experience.

Though the first act is a little slow there are thought provoking details and images of heaven and the afterlife. There are also many inspirational themes including the power of faith in the unexplained, prayer and the strength of community. If you’ve lost a loved one, like I have, you will be moved by this movie.

Akiane Kramarik

In the film there was an unnamed young girl that prompted me to do research on her. She was prodigy Akiane Kramarik who, at the age of 8, painted a highly detailed image of Jesus from divine visions she experienced when she was 4. Her paintings are absolutely stunning! Akiane is featured in the film as another child corroborating Colton’s vision of Jesus.
