Description

From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie, a war veteran encounters the true significance of life after death in this touching modern classic.

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic amusement park ride accident in an attempt to save a little girl’s life. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by both loved ones and distant strangers.

As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom will change everything you’ve ever thought about the afterlife—and the meaning of our lives here on earth.

  • A Beautiful and Stirring Read

    By Mommy of 3 Handsome Nuggets
    What I appreciated most from this moving literature is the opportunity to think outside my own being and limited perspective. I was moved through each chapter to consider the experiences and emotions of others and further to look upward towards heavenly pursuits. I have already recommended this book to 5+ friends.
  • Makes your heart stop

    By Maddieerinxoxo
    Absolutely breathtaking. I found it incredibly difficult to put down. I am not a religious person so this authors vision of heaven is absolutely beautiful. No religions are talked about - just a beautiful interpretation of heaven and coming home. Before I even finished the book I was telling everyone about it. Goosebumps. Tears. Heartache. Laughter. Love. You feel everything so deeply. Just beautiful.
