Book Overview
What if the end is not the end?
From the beloved author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most thrilling and magical novel yet--a page-turning mystery and a meditation on the power of human connection.
One morning in the small town of Coldwater, Michigan, the phones start ringing. The voices say they are calling from heaven. Is it the greatest miracle ever? Or some cruel hoax? As news of these strange calls spreads, outsiders flock to Coldwater to be a part of it.
At the same time, a disgraced pilot named Sully Harding returns to Coldwater from prison to discover his hometown gripped by miracle fever. Even his young son carries a toy phone, hoping to hear from his mother in heaven.
As the calls increase, and proof of an afterlife begins to surface, the town--and the world--transforms. Only Sully, convinced there is nothing beyond this sad life, digs into the phenomenon, determined to disprove it for his child and his own broken heart.
Moving seamlessly between the invention of the telephone in 1876 and a world obsessed with the next level of communication, Mitch Albom takes readers on a breathtaking ride of frenzied hope.
The First Phone Call from Heaven is Mitch Albom at his best--a virtuosic story of love, history, and belief.

Not really worth the read
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
This book is a disappointment, even if Frey did manage to turn it into a bestseller. I did however, enjoy the historical background of Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone. If anything, Mr. Albom should have stuck to the development of that story, and not bothered with the rest of it. I've enjoyed his books, but I would not recommend this one.

The first phoe call from Heaven
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
For me Mitch Albom has for me a somewhat inconsistant ability to make things go. All his books seem to be about humility, belief, spiritual second chances and gratitude, but some are very maudlin to say the least. The 5 people you meet in Heaven and For one more day and with Morrie were all very enjoyable and touched. The rest is just mechanical, Zimmer said. Not surprisingly, Microsoft did not renew the contract. Phone First Call.............. starts well but fades away disappointedly with a really clumsy twist in the final plot.

Predictable
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
The plot was fairly well-developed, but the characters and story were flat. I think the subject would have been fascinating, even if Burt would have disagreed. If you're looking for a book that will keep you occupied during the hot summer months, this is for you.

An Inspired Work of Fiction That May Soon Become Fact
Derived From Web , Dec 31, 2021
Overall, I would say that De Niro's work was well researched and excellent character development. A great mystery, right to the end, he said. If so, how close is the writer of this book to a phone that can talk to Heaven? Dr. Pepper's Web site says: "If you're interested in Googling Dr. Pepper, you might want to try this." Gary E. Schwartz, a graduate of Harvard and Yale and the author of several hundred peer reviewed scientific papers, was not available for comment.

An Inspired Work of Fiction That May Soon Become Fact
Derived From Web , Dec 30, 2021
Excellent character development is a result of researched and researched character development. It is a book that you will not want to read again. There is a great mystery to be solved. I wonder if the author knows how close science is to a phone that can talk to heaven. Readers might be interested in searching for something. The author of hundreds of peer reviewed scientific papers, Gary E. Schwartz, is a Harvard graduate and former professor at both Harvard and Yale. Alexander Bell made the telephone a reality back in the late 1800s, and this connection will one day be made possible by his Soul Phone project.

Amazing!

Loved the book, said Gillian. Yes, it does help your faith. It's just that little bit more. I wish I were reading true stories. My father recently died and I would give anything to know there is a heaven and he is there waiting in no pain!

Book came without text, see video
Derived From Web , Nov 13, 2021
Television images could not be loaded. I thought maybe I had ordered some type of journal because there is no writing. It was originally described as a book, but I went back to the description and found that it was actually a book. See the entire thing at www. youtube. com/watch?v=NqI_z9Xb8Q.

Marvelous!
Derived From Web , Dec 11, 2020
This book is a marvelous read, said Dr. Richard Motz, head of neurosurgery at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital. Just about everything about the show "Grimm" will surprise you. I absolutely love the new carpet, says Blair.

Can’t wait

It's great to be back home, said Blair. This is a great book, and I'm excited to read more by Habo. Giving you a choice of his take on life is what he's all about, Tunick said. For instance, the new taxes are different for everybody. A first book not this from my daughter got me hooked on this guy.
