The Stranger in the Lifeboat

A Novel

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Mitch Albom

Number one New York Times best seller

What would happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom’s profound new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. He claims to be “the Lord”. And he says he can only save them if they all believe in him.

Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, 10 people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food, and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in.

“Thank the Lord we found you,” a passenger says.

“I am the Lord,” the man whispers.

So begins Mitch Albom’s most beguiling and inspiring novel yet.

Albom has written of heaven in the celebrated number one best sellers The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The First Phone Call from Heaven. Now, for the first time in his fiction, he ponders what we would do if, after crying out for divine help, God actually appeared before us? What might the Lord look, sound and act like?

In The Stranger in the Lifeboat, Albom keeps us guessing until the end: Is this strange and quiet man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell?

The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is later discovered - a year later - when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat.

It falls to the island’s chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened.

A fast-paced, compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, The Stranger in the Lifeboat suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them.

Powerful

Intense page turner. Brought me to tears many times and seemed to have answered some questions regarding my faith. Very beautiful story.

Be alive and survive the challenges and struggles given to us.

Faith and survival. Yes, we are meant to survive so that we may enjoy life and in turn be grateful for those who touch our lives.

Wonderful Mitch story

Loved it, great ending as always. Always surprising us by your plots. No other author that know can do this for me again and again.

Ordinary I would not enjoy a book with such suffering and death, but The compelling way it was written And the soothing voice of the narrator Made me want to find out how it ended

Faith :)

Sitting here July 4th weekend with Covid wondering what to read, how to fill this lonely, isolated weekend. Audible; turned off the TV grabbed a pillow & blanket and listened quietly. I instantly relaxed and felt so much better having to remember " Have Faith, know that he will never leave me." Thoroughly enjoyed

Excellent listen!

I loved every minute of it. Albom did a great job bringing God into plain view
