The Stranger in the Lifeboat

Ten survivors of a horrific ship explosion are stranded at sea, struggling to survive while floating on a raft. It is three days later. They see a man floating in the waters despite being low on food, water, and hope. They entice him in. "We are so grateful that we found you," a passenger comments. The man mumbles, "I am the Lord." This is how Mitch Albom's most captivating book yet starts.

In his well-known number-one books "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and "The First Phone Call from Heaven," Mitch Albom writes about heaven. Now, for the first time in his fiction, he asks us to imagine what would happen if God truly showed himself in front of us after we cried out for help from above. "The Stranger in the Lifeboat" is a gripping, fast-paced book that challenges your core beliefs and raises the possibility that God may answer your prayers in unexpected places.
