The Five People You Meet in Heaven: Booktrack Edition

By: Mitch Albom

Narrated by: Mitch Albom

From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie, a war veteran encounters the true significance of life after death in this touching modern classic.

"This book is a gift to the soul." -Amy Tan, author of The Joy Luck Club

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic amusement park ride accident in an attempt to save a little girl’s life. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by both loved ones and distant strangers.

As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom will change everything you’ve ever thought about the afterlife—and the meaning of our lives here on earth.

Excellent Audiobook from Mitch A

I had previously read the book but listening to the story narrated by Mitch accompanied by a soundtrack was something very special. Brilliant!

Poignant

A very sweet story of an oh-so-typical man who never felt he fit in. From the five characters he meets, he finally learns, he fit in exactly where he was meant to be. A good lesson for us all…

A Sweet Story

After reading/listening to Tuesday’s with Morrie, I went straight to this story. I enjoyed it but not near as much as Tuesday’s with Morrie. The end of the book was definitely a tear-jerker. It makes us all think of our own life and interactions with others.

How much depth this book has

This is the 99th book of the year 11/21/24. All the books I’ve read have been fiction. Out of all the books this was a breath of fresh air. I needed this escape

Heartfelt and soul touching book!

There is a line in the first few chapters that changed my entire view on the afterlife and heaven. Hard hitting book especially if you’re in a place in life that has you searching for answers.
