The First Phone Call from Heaven by Mitch Albom

‘What if the end is not the end?’

The First Phone Call from Heaven is a fictional book which tells a miraculous tale set in a small town on Lake Michigan. A local policeman receives a phone call from his son, his dead son, who died in the line of duty in Afghanistan. A grief-stricken woman receives a call from her mother, who died two years ago. A lady picked up a call on her cell phone one afternoon and hears the voice of her dead sister through the receiver.

Is this a miracle sent from heaven?  Or is this just a giant hoax?

Jack, the local police chief of Coldwater, Michigan was sitting at his desk in his office one Friday evening when his phone started ringing. It read ‘unknown caller’, but he picked it up anyway.

‘Hello?’

‘Dad, it’s me, Robbie. Don’t worry about me Dad.’

‘What? But this is impossible.. Where are you?’

‘You know where I am, Dad.’

‘What’s it like?’

‘It’s awesome here Dad’

And the line went dead.

A magical tale brimming with love and hope, it teaches the importance of cherishing the people around you. An actual representation of the saying ‘True love never dies’.

From the beloved author Mitch Albom, author of no #1 New York Times bestsellers Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, presenting yet another bestseller , The First Phone Call from Heaven.
