New book!

  Starting 5/11/11, I began reading a new book, and it is very good.

Heaven is for Real. It's a true story about a little boy who became very sick, and he was taken to heaven. He sat with Jesus and talked to him, met John the Baptist, etc. And the kid was only 3 years old. It's a cute book, and I recommend it.

But one thing that I think is particularly interesting is that, since the little boy met Jesus and knew what he looked like, lots of artists were drawing pictures of ways that Jesus might look, and asking him if the picture looked like the real Jesus, and the kid kept saying, "no, that's not quite right." And then there was a little girl who drew a picture of what she thought Jesus might look like, and the little boy immediately said that it looked exactly like him. And the picture is in the book.
It looks similar to our interpretation of Jesus' looks, but yet it's different.

I found that to be interesting. So, if you read the book, you can see what Jesus looks like. Incentive, I know :P
