Lessons From The Five People You Meet In Heaven

The end; Most books start with the beginning, but this one started with the end. Starting with the end is just like starting from the beginning because like Mitch Albom said, ”All endings are also beginnings. We just do not know it at the time.” Meaning when we end something we are beginning something else, we just do not know it.. In this essay, life lessons will be discussed. Mitch Albom’s book The Five People You Meet In Heaven, is about how strangers are just family you have yet to know, forgiveness, and about how every life has a purpose.
