The First Phone Call from Heaven

2013 | Fiction & Poetry

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—transform. 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 a virtuosic story of love, history, and belief.

I have always loved the writing of Mitch Albom. I have not been very religious or spiritual but in the past year I have been trying to expand and understand this level of beliefs. The writing had me hoping that Heaven existed rather than what it just being a human created reality.

An enjoyable book which raised interesting observations about human nature, faith and grief. Not as good as Five People You Meet in Heaven but an entertaining read with a good fast-paced twist at the end.
