The Five People You Meet in Heaven The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Publisher Description

Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"

Heartfelt book!

This is such a warm, heartfelt book. You meet Eddie who is in his mid eighties and think his life is insignificant and has been a waste. In a path where he dies in trying to save a little girl’s life he meets five people in heaven that teaches him lessons. It’s a great book as it shows everyone is connected and has an impact on everything in life. It also great because with all deaths surrounding us now, it lifts up the spirit that we will meet again our loved ones in the afterlife and understand everything that happened in our life as part of the bigger picture with God.
