To have missed this NY Times best-seller book?
The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by the same author as Tuesdays with Morrie, is a gem of a must read.
I had two hours till my flight took off from Atlanta- so I wandered over to Nathan's and grabbed a boat of fries, doused with catch-up (how my 3 yr. old nephew says ketsup) for lunch and wandered into the book-store. This small paperback looked lonely as there was only one copy left. I never heard of it before and it was flying off the rack. So on the theory that someone must know something I picked it up and couldn't put it down until it was finished through the Charlotte lay-over and back to DC.
The theory is that there are folks who guided your path in life, some of whom you didn't realize impacted the trajectory of your journey quite in the way you imagined- until they play the tapes back for you, alice through the looking-glass style in heaven.
He sees what his father was really about and makes peace with it. He sees how much his wife always really loved him, and he sees a few people who knew him and helped him without him even knowing.
This guy's journey to peace of heart and fullness of joy is something worth reading. You won't put it down. Oh -and the guy's name? Eddie.
