the five people you meet in heaven

Finished reading this book The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, the same author who wrote Tuesday with Morrie.

This book is about a guy Eddie, who was the maintenance man at an amusement park. One day he was trying to save a little girl from a falling cart, and he got himself killed, then he went to heaven... There he met 5 people, the blue man whom he indirectly killed, captain who died for him, the lady whose husband built the amusement park for her, his wife who got sick after trying to look for him, and the girl whom he killed during the war. So actually everyone Eddie met was connected to him in one way or another, and each meeting sort of brought out the truth to him.

I dunno how heaven's like, dunno whether it works that way, but the one described my Mitch Albom isn't that bad afterall. One story, when looked from different angle, can mean different things, and every story is connected to one another. Reminds me of Chaos Theory. Oh well, can people really accept truth in the face?

  • worth reading.
    as for buying, it's up to individual. I don't have habit of keeping books, so, library is my answer to myself. bleh.

    I think it would be a special read for Christians like yourself.
