Free Book (EPUB) - Heaven is for Real

koland · 04-26-2011, 01:17 AM

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back ($6.13 Kindle), by Todd Burpo, Sonja Burpo, Colton Burpo and Lynn Vincent, is free from Borders (DRM'd EPUB). This is published by Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, who normally has their free books available in all the ebookstores, but I don't see this one free anywhere else.

Book Description
A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven. Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how "reaaally big" God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit "shoots down power" from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton's own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

No blame, just oblivion.

Is anyone else having problems getting Heaven is for Real to go to his Borders library?

ATDrake · 04-26-2011, 07:41 PM

If the website gives you an error message when you click the Add to Library button, you basically have to search for and download the book through the Borders app, which will auto-add it to your library (and an ePub will usually pop up in the library listing a few days later).

Be sure to remove all your credit card/payment info from Borders beforehand, because apparently sometimes they're tricksy and will charge for free books gotten via the app due to some sort of backend glitch.

Also, sometimes when the in-app store listing pops up, it'll have a price attached, which disappears to a "Download" button when you click to see the actual product page. It's another one of Borders' little site glitches.

Thanks AT. It looks like we're too late. The deal appears to be over.

Sorry, it was working when I posted. I even downloaded the EPUB into ADE, to make sure it was the full book.

Loosheesh · 04-26-2011, 08:55 PM

I got it this morning also, and I had no trouble then.

CWatkinsNash · 04-26-2011, 10:21 PM

Well, the book was mentioned in a NYT editorial today (or maybe yesterday) so maybe they decided to take advantage of that and make some money. I know I would if it was my book.

koland · 04-26-2011, 10:32 PM

Strangely enough, I checked the link about two hours ago and it went from 6.13 to 0.00 again. now back to 6.13. must be some weird glitch at borders.

It's also at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Real-Li...3956007&sr=1-1 though not currently for free.
