About this listen

The gift of heaven on earth. It will become the biggest story in the world...

When the residents of a small town on Lake Michigan start receiving phone calls from the afterlife, they all become the subject of widespread attention. Is it the greatest miracle ever or a massive hoax? Sully Harding, a grief-stricken single father, is determined to find out.

This is a story about the power of belief - and a page-turner that will touch your soul. The internationally bestselling and inspirational author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, returns with his most moving, surprising and compelling novel yet. The perfect introduction, or re-introduction, to the masterful storytelling of one of the best-loved writers of our time.

Another great story from Mitch Albom. Not quite as good as the Time Keeper, but he has a way of writing which is unique to him. There is a distinct meloncoly to the writing and by reading this himself he is able to bring the exact atmospher he wants to the book. This is a great story, sifting through the consequences of what would happen if a phone call from heaven were to happen. The realities and unrealities of people behaviour in such a circumstance and he takes the characters through as many events as he can encompassing emotions taken on by their actions and the consequences. There is a twist in the story bringing everything to what you might think is finality, but of course the reader has to make the final decision. Nicely read, he keeps the whole story flowing to its finale. Worth your money.

Not what you would expect.....

I love Mitch Albom books I have read one that leaves me disappointed and there’s always such an uplifting feel to them.

Uplifting!

The world moves in mysterious ways. This story proves that. Not my favourite Albom book, but definitely worth a read.

It was good

For anyone grieving it can be a very emotional and thought provoking book. But keep going if you feel like putting it aside.
Its thought provoking for anyone to be fair.
I'm glad I kept going as I enjoyed it, (my conclusion is I wouldn't want to hear his voice again, although I believe he is in heaven, but I'm sure everyone will have differing opinions), the story starts with the big hit of emotions for the reader, but becomes less and more of a story that you want to know how it will play out.

keep going
