Latest release of Mitch Albom
The first phone call from heaven
“Sometimes, love brings you together even as
life keeps you apart.”
― Mitch Albom, The First Phone Call from Heaven
― Mitch Albom, The First Phone Call from Heaven
One morning in the small
town of Coldwater, Michigan, the phones start ringing. The voices say they are
calling from heaven. Is it the greatest miracle ever? Or some cruel hoax? As
news of these strange calls spreads, outsiders flock to Coldwater to be a part
of it.
At the same time, a
disgraced pilot named Sully Harding returns to Coldwater from prison to
discover his hometown gripped by “miracle fever.” Even his young son carries a
toy phone, hoping to hear from his mother in heaven.
As the calls increase, and
proof of an afterlife begins to surface, the town—and the world—transform. Only
Sully, convinced there is nothing beyond this sad life, digs into the
phenomenon, determined to disprove it for his child and his own broken heart.
Moving seamlessly between
the invention of the telephone in 1876 and a world obsessed with the next level
of communication, Mitch Albom takes readers on a breathtaking ride of frenzied
hope.
The First Phone Call from
Heaven is a virtuosic story of love, history, and belief.
My Favourites-
Tuesdays with Morrie
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a
colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were
young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave
you sound advice to help you make your way through it.
For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago.
Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded, and the world seemed colder. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you, receive wisdom for your busy life today the way you once did when you were younger?
Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying, Morrie visited with Mitch in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final “class”: lessons in how to live.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven
“All endings are also beginnings. We just don't
know it at the time.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet In Heaven
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet In Heaven
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who
has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a
seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he
tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife,
where he learns that heaven is not a destination, but an answer.
In heaven, five people explain your life to you. Some you knew, others may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"

For One More Day
“When someone is in your heart, they're never
truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.”
― Mitch Albom, For One More Day
― Mitch Albom, For One More Day
For One More Day is the
story of a mother and a son, and a relationship that covers a lifetime and
beyond. It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more
day with a lost loved one?
As a child, Charley "Chick" Benetto
was told by his father, "You can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you
can't be both." So he chooses his father, only to see the man disappear
when Charley is on the verge of adolescence.
Decades later, Charley is a broken man. His life has been crumbled by alcohol and regret. He loses his job. He leaves his family. He hits bottom after discovering his only daughter has shut him out of her wedding. And he decides to take his own life.
He makes a midnight ride to his small hometown, with plans to do himself in. But upon failing even to do that, he staggers back to his old house, only to make an astonishing discovery. His mother who died eight years earlier is still living there, and welcomes him home as if nothing ever happened.
What follows is the one "ordinary" day so many of us yearn for, a chance to make good with a lost parent, to explain the family secrets, and to seek forgiveness. Somewhere between this life and the next, Charley learns the astonishing things he never knew about his mother and her sacrifices. And he tries, with her tender guidance, to put the crumbled pieces of his life back together.
Through Albom's inspiring characters and masterful storytelling, readers will newly appreciate those whom they love and may have thought they'd lost in their own lives. For One More Day is a book for anyone in a family, and will be cherished by Albom's millions of fans worldwide.
