the five people you meet in heaven

"I figure it's like in the Bible, the Adam and Eve deal. Adam's first night on earth? When he lays down to sleep? He thinks it's all over, right? He doesn't know what sleep is. His eyes are closing and he thinks he's leaving this world, right? Only he isn't He wakes up the next morning and he has a fresh new world to work with, but he has something else, too. He has his yesterdays. The way I see it, that's what we're getting here, soldier. That's what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays."

This passage is from one of my favorite books "The Five People you Meet in Heaven". I read this book years ago when my grandmother passed away and many many times since then. Every time I read it I find some new outlook that I missed the last time and I just love that about it. It's refreshing to hear different outlooks on afterlife. I'm not very religious so my mind is just full of questions and ideas about what happens after one dies. I really enjoyed reading Mitch Albom's version of Heaven and would highly suggest this quick read to someone looking for a short book.
