The Five People You Meet In Heaven

I stumbled upon this book actually, when I visited a dear friend of mine and he was flipping channels. His mother stopped him on the video version of this book, and we watched the last hour of the film. Soon though, I will have the opportunity to watch the film in full and let you know my thoughts of it. As of right now, I do enjoy the film even though, like I said I didn't watch much of it.

Favorite lines:
"There are five people you meet in heaven," the Blue Man said. "Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth."
Eddie looked confused.
"People think of heaven as a Paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless.
This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for."

I hope to actually own this book someday, it gave me a few ideas to think about. Such as, who will I meet in heaven? Are those that I made friends with ones that truly made a difference in my life? Who will I as a person when I reach heaven?

I also liked this version of heaven by Mitch Albom, who was inspired by a relative who passed away in his life. I have always found the different perspective of stories interesting, and worthy of knowing, such as when discussing an argument or the correct pronouciation of a particular word.

Later on I will publish a piece on Beastly, and one on Beauty, a movie and a book respectively. These are different versions of the same story. There are 'different versions' of story books as well. Consider the well known tale of the Three Little Pigs. How often do you hear the story told by the narrater and not the pigs in question? How about if the story was told by the wolf, do you think there would be a different outcome to the entire story?

All in all I believe you will ultimatly like this book because of ephasis it can have on your life.
