About this listen

The instant number one New York Times best seller

The stunning new novel from the best-selling author of global phenomenon Tuesdays with Morrie.

Adrift in a raft after a terrible shipwreck, 10 strangers struggle to survive while they wait for rescue.

After three days, short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves.

They pull him on board - and the survivor claims he can save them.

But should they put their trust in him?

Will any of them see home again?

And why did the ship really sink?

The Stranger in the Lifeboat is not only a deeply moving novel about the power of love and hope in the face of danger but also a mystery that will keep you guessing to the very end.

As a huge Mitch Albom fan, this book is truly beautiful. Easy to follow. Flows gracefully. Gorgeous words. Thought provoking. A book of love and faith in whatever you believe. Still no book will ever beat The Time keeper which is Mitch Alboms best closely followed by Tuesdays with Morrie, oh, and the five people you meet in heaven. This book is still absolutely glorious. Thank you.

really enjoyed this book, its much the style as his other books, so if you like those, you'll like this. this book does make you think about your faith. whether or not you have any.

Although the story held my attention and was very well presented, I'm left trying to decide if it was deep and meaningful and I'm shallow and dubious...or if it was a convoluted attempt to present a profound spiritual message or truth - and that it just didnt hit my personal God spot .....mmmm jury's out on that....

Questionable....
