The First Phone Call from Heaven tells the story of a small town on Lake Michigan that gets worldwide attention when its citizens start receiving phone calls from the afterlife. Is it the greatest miracle ever or a massive hoax? Sully Harding, a grief-stricken single father, is determined to find out. An allegory about the power of belief—and a page-turner that will touch your soul—Albom’s … soul—Albom’s masterful storytelling has never been so moving and unexpected.
Readers of The Five People You Meet in Heaven will recognize the warmth and emotion so redolent of Albom’s writing, and those who haven’t yet enjoyed the power of his storytelling, will thrill at the discovery of one of the best-loved writers of our time.

Book captures the imagination and propels you thru the book in trying to figure out who is making the call.
Love all his books.
This book takes you on a journey with realistic detail that any of us could experience and has a surprising ending, while challenging your beliefs along with way. A hard-to-put down book that makes you think. I am a big fan of Mitch Albom’s writing style and topics he chooses.
There was a point in the book when I became a little upset with how I thought the plot was going. I’m glad I finished the book because it did have a wonderful ending.
I have loved every book Mitch puts out. They make me think and continplate life.
I have enjoyed other books written by this author. This book felt slow paced and was easy to put down. I finished it because I started it
very entertaining
A very good book. I won’t say any more since I don’t want to spoil it.
Not as good as his other “heaven” books, but worth reading and you won’t forget it.
The premise was entertaining but I didn’t care much for the ending.
I’m a Mitch Album fan,but this is not his best.
lt was okay. Not as good as his previous books
Witty and twisted and funny endings with a tragic beginning. Life should be so upbeat.
just ok…
I like the book.
I really don’t know how to rate this book. I was stumped by it. I am a believer in Heaven and it puts some questions out there. I liked it, it was easy to read, for the most part. I don’t think it’s a book for someone who does think about the afterlife.
Very thought provoking. Interesting how different people reacted to the calls.
Thought it would be preachy but it wasn’t. Excellent ending and great action!
An inspiring read.
Phone call, you know it’s not received from heaven, but it did bring this town together… a few twist and turns, but the end was expected. Yes read it and enjoy the possibilities
