#1 New York Times Bestseller What would happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom’s profound new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. He claims to be “the Lord.” And he says he can only save them if they all believe in him. Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, ten people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in. “Thank the Lord we found you,” a passenger says. “I am the Lord,” the man whispers. So begins Mitch Albom’s most beguiling and spiritual novel yet. Albom has written of heaven in the celebrated number one bestsellers The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The First Phone Call from Heaven . Now, for the first time in his fiction, he ponders what we would do if, after crying out for divine help, God actually appeared before us? In The Stranger in the Lifeboat, a philosophical novel wrapped in mystery and suspense, Albom keeps us guessing until the end: Is this strange man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is discovered—a year later—when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat. It falls to the island’s chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened. A fast-paced, compelling work of inspirational fiction that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, The Stranger in the Lifeboat suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them.

So simple and yet profound
Don't go literal when reading this book...read from a spiritual lens and life as we know it. It is so simple and in that is what lies the beauty of the book and its message. It's not about what we are that matters but how we are while we are on earth. Alot about karma for those who get it.

Original print. Go for it.
The story is not what I am commenting on. That's more a personal choice. The quality of print is awesome. And the book arrived in pristine form.

A good novel for patient reading.
The novel is slow paced and has some suspense. The author uses very simple and illustrative language to describe what he wants to say. The story is written to the point. There are some twists along the way. The ending is the best part. A lot of plots are resolved in the end.

Lousy cutting
The book cover itself was in good shape, no dented corners even though it wasn't plastic wrapped. So surprise on that b u t the way the pages were cut is horrible. So uneven, can't really see it in the pics but I was like.. what the heck. Can't say much about the story yet since it's suppose to be a gift.

un récit à la fois moderne et ancien, comme certains récits bibliques peuvent l'être
Ce livre m'a fait penser au récit mythique du prophète Jonas, qui refuse son destin et qui pourtant devra s'y soumettre, si par hasard vous connaissez l'histoire. Mais rassurez-vous, je n'ai rien révélé par cette allusion, si ce n'est que ce roman a des allures d'un récit mythique. C'est incontestablement un roman de grande qualité qui se lit à plusieurs niveaux, mais il serait regrettable d'en dire de trop, ce qui gâcherait la lecture. Il faut le "découvrir" chapitre après chapitre et accepter (ce que j'appellerais) le réalisme magique du récit. Je ne peux que le recommander sans réserve, c'est une lecture que j'aurais aimé partager avec des jeunes lors de cours d'anglais. Avis aux amateurs, succès garanti.
