 The Five People You Meet in Heaven January 5, 2009
I had heard that this book was excellent, but I had no idea what to expect. I had my own ideas, but it was nothing like I predicted. This tale is thoughful and elegant. It made me revel in the connectedness of all humans. Albom did an excellent job of crafting a story that will be touching for generations to come. This book isn't very long, but it is full of sentiment and lessons about how life may not seem fair, but there is always a plan. It's a must read.
 Just Great January 5, 2009
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is a heartwarming story of an old men Eddie who had a humdrum job and with no outstanding personal characteristics. He dies trying to save a little girls life and awakens in Heaven to find five people waiting to show him the true meaning of his ordinary life. Through these five people we learn what really matters in our life back here on earth.
There is a beautiful new book about God , faith and what you will do after death entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. I just finished it. It's really great and deals with God, the creator, Jesus' teachings, and His Passion. It brought me to tears. I think the readers of Albom's book will really enjoy The Enlightenment.
Little things may be more important than you think. December 21, 2008
Well written, readable and thought provoking. I've recommended it to others. What more can I say.
A Legacy Reviewed December 21, 2008
This book may be a bit simplistic, but if you ever think about the legacy that you leave on this earth. Read this book. Good times and bad times all mean something to you and those around even when you don't know it.
Therapeutic December 17, 2008
I read this shortly after my mom died, and I must say, it was very therapeutic, even if it were just fiction. It really made me consider death differently; that she was okay...in a better place. Later, I offered it to a friend who'd also lost a parent, and she felt the same way. It really helped her through the entire ordeal.
I can't thank Albom enough for that. I've been a fan of his since his early sports writing days. I've read all his books thus far. Considering what I'd just said, you can only imagine how much I enjoyed: For One More Day. My mom died of a massive heart attack, so I never got a chance to say good-bye, let alone make amends. I'd give anything 'for one more day' with her. =/
