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.
If I got a phone call from Heaven I would be scared, excited, I would have disbelief. I would wonder if someone was playing a prank. I would like to think I was strong enough to proclaim the Glory of God but I wonder. In a day and age were science proves everything, it would seem difficult to believe something like this could happen. But it does happen. I recently got a phone call from Heaven. Not by way of the dead, but from a good friends that are alive here. The only one that new we needed help was God. It is a humbling experience to take help from someone when you depend on your own power and self-sufficiency. But the Lord remind us that was are like dust in the wind, here today and gone tomorrow. He has appointed us to be here today and now. I'm reminded that Holy Spirit fills us with the power we need and God's love is sufficient.
