Rating:  Summary: Recommended Review: This book was recommended. I like inspirational books. And if you like inspirational book, along the lines of THE LITTLE GUIDE TO HAPPINESS, which is my favorite, then I think perhaps you might want to consider giving this a try.
Rating:  Summary: Simply Dreadful Review: This book was given to me as a gift. It's so poorly written, I couldn't help wondering what the publisher was thinking. Made to appear as another "Tuesdays with Morrie", Albom sinks into a 5th grade writting style with a Christmas Carol theme. It's preachy, phony, sappy and tries to appeal to the emotions of the Oprah crowd. A dreadful money grab and not even worth the deep discounts offered here. Avoid this book as it piles up on the floors of your local Kmart.
Rating:  Summary: Heaven on earth! Review: I LOVED this book! When reading anything relating to Heaven, I always have the fear that my Heaven and the author's Heaven are very diffrent. My Heaven is being greated by loved ones and surrounded with happiness, joy and LOVE. Mitch Albom and I share many of the same beliefs of Heaven. This book made me cry in sadness and with great joy. I can't wait to share this wonderful book with the people I care about. This review is dedicated in loving memory of my Gabrielle and Potch.
Rating:  Summary: you must read this book.. it's that good. Review: I brought this book when I needed to find comfort in the world. My world was crumbling down and I had nothing to live for. When I read this book it gave me so much hope and peace. It is an excellent book and has many beautiful moments. It's the first book that made me cry but uplifted me at the same time.
Rating:  Summary: Uplifting and inspirational Review: Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is an incredibly uplifting and inspirational book. Page after page, you come across many similarities to your own life to relate to in this easy read. This book attempts to answer one question for the main character... why are we here on earth?"It's a Wonderful Life" in book form, this novel is highly recommended if you are tired of reading books about the basic depravity of our world today. While you're at it, you might even get a different take on heaven... I know I did.
Rating:  Summary: FAITH AND THE JOURNEY WE MAKE Review: This book is simple but holds a strong and emotional reflection over how our choices surrounding our faith calls the shots on our journey through life, now and afterwards. Some reviewers don't like it while others love it. If you think you are a know it all - you may not like it. If you are creative and open to ideas, you will probably enjoy it. It makes one think about what our choices have been and how we can make better ones from this day forward. Also recommeded: Hannah's Prayer, an insightful spirited filled book, and for parents who need thoughtful parenting skills, Mommy-CEO, by Jodie Lynn. These three books will make most individuals stop and think about actions today and how they will affect our tomorrow.
Rating:  Summary: Touching and deep Review: This book has made me think a lot about my relationships with other people. This book is an outstanding read and I would suggest it to anyone. I have just found a new author whose first two books have also caused me to pause and think about my personal relationships as well, Kirk Martin. His first book Shade of the Maple deals with romantic relationships and his second books deals with the relationship between a father and a son. I would highly recommend them as well.
Rating:  Summary: Journey of Faith Review: I absolutley loved this book. It is so well written that you can stop reading. On the surface it is a nice story but when you start thinking about it you really begin to think about your own faith and how you viewed heaven. I strongly recommend this book to any and everyone. It has an awsome ending and will leave you satisfied and better off for reading it.
Rating:  Summary: Great ideas create expectations that are hard to live up to! Review: Heaven is a place where your life is explained to you by five people who were in it. What a great idea for a book! And who isn't at least a little bit intrigued by a book about the afterlife? Two reasons why I bought the book and, I would surmise, two reasons why the book was written. Unfortunately the book read like a conscious effort to create a story that would fit a preconcieved premise. My expectations may have been too high, but I still enjoyed this book! Even when it became somewhat predictable, I couldn't wait to find out who he would meet next and how their story would fit into his life in a way that would give meaning and purpose to it. Its a short read, and I would recommend it with your expectations in check.
