Re:The Five People You Meet in Heaven ~I read it, I could discuss! Jen
~Me, too, just finished it as well and loved it! Cassie Me three! I've already passed it on to another BC'er and have recommended it to several people. I really enjoyed this book a lot, it gave me a lot to think about. I especially liked the author's take on heaven even if it doesn't mesh with my own ideas of what we face at the time of death. I did, however, try to imagine what I would want as my heaven if I had the choice. I honestly haven't been able to come up with an answer to that. I suppose you have to live your life all the way through to know. My own beliefs on heaven aside, it was nice to read something different from the ususal 'floating on clouds with angels and harps'. I would like to believe that if there is an afterlife that it provide some education or explanation into the purpose of this life beyond what we already recognize. I would hate to think that once we're done here that we are to just float around in a state of eternal bliss...how boring! I like the idea of no perception of time as well. Eternity is not something I would like to face if I had to do so with a conscious awareness of its endlessness, no matter how pleasant the time may be. The relationships between him and his five people are what I found most interesting. The fact that we all have these unknown connections to others, and that we never really know everything about even those we are closest to, is what made his story believeable for me.
