My favorite book is, Heaven is for Real By Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent. Its an inspirational story about a young child who is having a stomach issue. His parents are driving long distances to take care of him. When they get him to the hospital something crazy happens. While the boy was in surgery he said he had completely left his body. He said he met God and could see his parents in diffrent rooms praying. The story goes on as he keeps telling his dad stuff that he never would have known. It's a great story for anyone. It is a Non-Fiction story. THE FIVE ACTS OF KINDESS**. 1.Eliminate prejudice by looking for the best in others. 2. Dare to dream, set goals and keep a journal. 3.Choose your influences, Input determines output. 4. Kind words small acts of kindess= Huge impact. 5. Start a chain reaction with family and friends.**

**Rachel's challenge invited our school it has impacted our school big in a huge way. It touched our hearts. Ever since Rachel's challenge our school has improved. There is not as much bullying, People are treating each other better its been great. The challenge that I took on the most was that I wanted to start a chain reaction.** This is Todd Burpo's first book. I think for his first time he did really good. I hope he writes more.
