Book Club is sponsored by The Church at Covenant Park, near the Soccer Association of Columbia (SAC) fields. We join together as those who like to read or would like to read more and be able to discuss with others. Membership is not limited to Church members and all are welcome.
Just finished reading the book today. I must say he is a very talented writer and especially surprising given his focus on sport reporting. Mitch Albom certainly feels that none of us play a small part here on earth and that God has a plan for all of us. He adds the individual attention while intertwining all the stories to say God weaves a very rich tapestry that we won't appreciate until we see how it all worked out in heaven. His story makes me think of the white stones mentioned in Revelation with a name on it that only the receiver knows. What did everyone else think about the book?
The passage in revelation is 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it."
Eddie got the hidden sustenance known to us as "what is it?" and learned his name.
I don't want to attribute beliefs to someone who very well may not believe but sometimes the truth just can't help but come out.
