The First Phone Call From Heaven

A Novel

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Mitch Albom

From the beloved author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most thrilling and magical novel yet—a page-turning mystery and a meditation on the power of human connection.

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—transforms. 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 Albom at his best—a virtuosic story of love, history, and belief.

Just allil off

The book never grabbed me like the other books this author has wrote. oh and the sound effects in the book in annoying

Cute story, not the best narrator

A cute story, predictable but with a nice inspirational twist.
The first half was not so good, perhaps because it takes time to get used to the author as narrator - perhaps not the best choice in this case. I also don't like the sound effects of phones and bells ringing. The second half is better, has more of a mystery going on, and more action.

Entertaining and Inspirational

The performance was second to none! Loved the story, although it took a route I wasn't expecting. Nonetheless, as was expected from Albom, I was inspired. It's amazing that he continues to pack so much into books that are just the right length for a quick read.

Waiting...

For my call. Once again Mitch Albom persuades you through the stages of grief but as always in the end, acceptance is achieved

Predictably Suspenseful!
