Summary
The gift of heaven on earth. It will become the biggest story in the world...
When the residents of a small town on Lake Michigan start receiving phone calls from the afterlife, they all become the subject of widespread attention. Is it the greatest miracle ever or a massive hoax? Sully Harding, a grief-stricken single father, is determined to find out.
This is a story about the power of belief - and a page-turner that will touch your soul. The internationally bestselling and inspirational author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, returns with his most moving, surprising and compelling novel yet. The perfect introduction, or re-introduction, to the masterful storytelling of one of the best-loved writers of our time.

keep going
For anyone grieving it can be a very emotional and thought provoking book. But keep going if you feel like putting it aside.
Its thought provoking for anyone to be fair.
I'm glad I kept going as I enjoyed it, (my conclusion is I wouldn't want to hear his voice again, although I believe he is in heaven, but I'm sure everyone will have differing opinions), the story starts with the big hit of emotions for the reader, but becomes less and more of a story that you want to know how it will play out.

This is a book I will remember and recommend
So glad I read this, it has made me think. So sorry it didn’t become a film. I rarely re-read books, but this one may well be a future re-read

Will it work out in the end?
This was a really interesting concept, and as such, keeps you intrigued right until the end.
The small town Americana is reminiscent of Richard Russo's writing without the bittersweet comedy. Various inhabitants have been receiving phone calls from "heaven". The chief of police is most reluctant to believe the growing hype, until his dead son gets in touch.
There were quite a lot of characters introduced which made it tricky at times to keep up; but the use of Alexander Graham Bell's timeline of inventing the phone at the start of each chapter was genius, and gave you a wee chance to stop and take stock of who was who!

Interesting and thought provoking
If you could sum up The First Phone Call From Heaven in three words, what would they be?
Intelligent, uplifting, predictable
If you’ve listened to books by Mitch Albom before, how does this one compare?
I absolutely loved " the five people you meet in heaven " and was expecting something as creative and charming, but have to admit I was a touch disappointed.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
" what would you say in a phone call from Heaven ?"
Any additional comments?
It's not a bad book, it's thought provoking and has a charm, but it's a little disappointing. I am glad I read ( listened to ) it, but much prefer " The Five People You Meet in Heaven " which is very moving.
