We have posted before about the book, “The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven”. It seems another twist has been added to the story the past couple weeks.
Christian Post published an article on April 12 that Alex Malarkey, now 20 years old, is suing Tyndale House Publishers. He claims the entire thing was made up and wishes to have his name completely disassociated with the book.
Alex and his mother, Beth, said in 2015 that they had been telling Tyndale that none of it was truth. But it seemed nobody was listening.
Excerpt:
“Alex first tried to tell a ‘pastor’ how wrong the book was and how it needed stopped. Alex was told that the book was blessing people,” she explained. “I am trying to defend my son and truth. Alex did not write the book and it is not blessing him!”

We believe in the inerrancy and sufficiency of the Scriptures. Jesus said, “Thy Word is truth.” And so we not only believe it, we also base our worldview upon it.
