Todd Burpo's Heaven Is for Real (Thomas Nelson) runaway best-selling book has been recognized by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) for significant sales.

Published in November 2010, Burpo's account of his young son's near-death experience of heaven will be honored with an ECPA Platinum Award on May 2 at the start of ECPA's Executive Leadership Summit in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Platinum and Gold ECPA Awards, marking sales of 1 million and 500,000 copies via all retail channels, respectively, also recognized three Harvest House Publishers titles.

The Platinum recipient is Before You Say "I Do" by Norm Wright and Wes Roberts, while 30 Days to Taming Your Tongue by Deborah Smith Pegues and Classic Christianity by Bob George are Gold recipients.
