I love the book, the idea that five people who are important to us whatever we know it or not appeals to me.
I love reading that book.
It has also made an impression that ours lives touch others lives no matter how insignificant we think we are.
I wonder how many people have read this book. So here is my question: Have you read Five people you meet in heaven?

I will admit, I'm not a very religious person, but I picked this book up anyway despite the title. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a very eye opening book for me, and to this day it causes me to contemplate things a lot. I also sent this book to my husband while he was deployed and he enjoyed it also, and he doesn't even like to read.

I love the book. And you are right it is a book that makes one think on how one lives and can even see life in a diferent way. I love the part how we continue to love people even if we can no longer hold them.
I am glad that you and your husband enjoy it.

I agree, Tuesdays with Morrie is a great read also!!

I am looking forward to reading that book.
I am not sure when but when I do I will be sure to tell you.

Hi Shelly, this is a meaningful book; and if you like this one, you should also try another book by the same writer 'Tuesdays with Morrie'.

I've read both books, and have found 'Tuesdays with Morrie' a very compelling book.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ShellyB (3093)   ranked 949 out of 9,001 in reading  4 years ago

I will read tuesdays with Morrie :)
Thanks for mentioning. Once I read it I will tell you. I hope it does not take me long.

I have not read this book. I saw it in my father`s casket. My father had placed it there. Shortly after he died (a couple of months) the tv movie with Jon Voigt aired for the first time on television. So I saw the movie, but didn`t read the book. It is comforting to know we will see our family on the other side. In fact, this inspired me to write my own little short story on this subject.

Through dreams I have seen both my father and my brother. They have given me messages as well as shown to me that they are happy where they are. They always having smiling faces. So not only do I believe that I will see them in heaven, I believe they are watching over us now and send messages to us here on earth.

Thank you for your reply.
It is very touching to know that your dad like the book, I also have seen my grandma and mom in dreams it is with messages but they have not all been happy, one of the last times I saw my grandma I think she was telling me that my aunt would die and it broke my heart, she had died the same night. It is strange to describe, but I know what you mean, our loved are watching over us.

Thank you for the best response. I just re-read my response... oh my goodness! My father did not place the book in his own casket! My sister put it there. Hope that didn't confuse anyone. LOL!

I actually thought two things, that he made it known he wanted the book there or someone put it there.
Do not worry about it.
Thanks again for your response happy

Hi Shelly, I just googled it and didn't realise that it had been a bestseller by Mitch Albom as his very first book, the reviews look great so I will add it to my wish list. Thank you for sharing. Obviously as I had to look it up, I haven't read it. It also says there is a film now too. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 96/100. ShellyB (3093)   ranked 949 out of 9,001 in reading  4 years ago

I am now hearing about the film, I am not sure if I want to see the movie as sometimes movies do not do justice to their books, I hope it will in this case.
I am glad that you will read, to me it is a great book.

No, I have not read that book, notdo I want to. But I do agree that everyone we interact with we have made an impression of some sort. You, my dear, are not insignificant happy

Thanks for letting me know that, even tho sometimes I feel that way.
In the other hand you are very important to a lot of people (especially me)
