When reading the book you see that the father was struggling with his church and with his garage door business. My "opinion" is that the book was an idea by the father to put something together to make some money. Now he is making bank. I do believe the child may have said somethings which gave Todd Burpo the idea to jell out a story, but to say it was "for real" I personally don't buy it.
