I can't believe that I read the full 90 minutes in one sitting, but it was the end of the book so I decided to finish it; and I'm glad I did! Colton is now growing up and they had even added another member to the family, another boy named Colby. One night they decided to hire a babysitter, her name was Ali and she was mature and smart for her age in high school so they knew they could trust her. As the parents came home the mom went inside to relieve the babysitter and ask her how things went, but when she got to her she saw her crying her eyes out. At first the mom was shocked and didn't know what happened, but when she finally got Ali to calm down, the first thing Ali did was tell her that Colton had told her that he missed his sister. The one that she had miscarried, at first Ali was thinking of Cassie, but then Colton said that he at one time had two sisters. So Colton began to tell Ali the story of his remarkable journey and past, and Ali couldn't believe what she was hearing, but it helped her to believe because we all have our dobts. After that they decided to speak more freely of what had happened to Colton. One day after one of thier sermons a woman came up to the dad and said that their had been another experience where a young girl had seen Jesus and went to heaven, and she made different reports on CNN, and made beautiful pictures and paintings. So when the dad got home he got on his computer and looked up the information that the woman had told him. He found some remarkable images and immediately called for Colton, to see how he felt about the picture of God that the little girl had painted. They had played this game in the past and Colton's dad figured his son would turn him down again and tell his dad that that man wasn't the God that he had seen with his own eyes. But when Colton didn't say anyting and had a look of awe on his face they knew that was the God that he had seen. Another important thing happened the parents of little Colton never really thought to ask if Colton had ever seen the Devil, but one day they got the idea and Colton just had a look of terror on his face and didn't want to talk about it, so the parents knew that their 6 year old son had indeed seen one of hte worst things that he could have seen. Because God and the other angels were fighting him. At the very end of the book it talks briefly about what and how the family is doing and talks about why it took them so long to write and put out the book, they didn't konw when and if Colton would be read for all the publicity. In the end this book has opened my eyes to something I myself had doubts about, but now I know that someday I will hopefully be able to see what little Colton saw for his very eyes!
