The First Phone Call from Heaven: A Novel

By Mitch Albom

Book Overview

The First Phone Call from Heaven tells the story of a small town on Lake Michigan that gets worldwide attention when its citizens start receiving phone calls from the afterlife. Is it the greatest miracle ever or a massive hoax? Sully Harding, a grief-stricken single father, is determined to find out. An allegory about the power of belief--and a page-turner that will touch your soul--Albom's masterful storytelling has never been so moving and unexpected. Readers of The Five People You Meet in Heaven will recognize the warmth and emotion so redolent of Albom's writing, and those who haven't yet enjoyed the power of his storytelling, will thrill at the discovery of one of the best-loved writers of our time.

Customer Reviews

Really good read!

Mitch Albom is one of my favorite writers. Loved all of his books so far. This one was really good but It wasn’t great. Still has a place on my bookshelf though!

Good

A few slow spots but overall good. The ending was awesome.

This book made me think a lot about our culture and how the media has changed our way of thinking and acting. Not a pretty sight. Love Mitch Albom!
