OK. Well, to me, the story is dripping with fishiness. Doesn't mean it isn't true, and I believe the events described were, by and large, almost certainly accurate (the disease, surgery, etc.). But a child that young could so easily have been coached -- maybe even accidentally -- that I have a hard time with taking it all at face value. The child may not think he is lying, per se, and in fact may actually believe everything. But the dad, who wrote the book, could, for all we know, be twisting things a little or a lot.
My best guess? The child had a near death experience, and his recollections of it were both driven by what he heard at church and at home, and "helped along" by others around him, afterward. Dad (author) said he took pains not to ask leading questions or cue him in any way (with an exception or two, that he admitted). But he may have done that without even knowing. Or he might just be lying. :dunno |
