I finished the book yesterday.
It is the most amzing book I have ever ever read, it really made me realise that everything we do has a consequence upon other people, everything!!
Quite deep really.
But it made me wonder who I would meet in heaven.
Who do you think your 5 people are?

First off, yes it is an awesome book. I have since lent it to lots of my friends and they have all liked it too.
As for the people I would meet, I think the beauty of the book was that it was people who had affected the characters life who were there but that he had never met, or only very briefly. So for me it would probably be people I knew in school, people who in my work (I work for the NHS helping to fix things when they go wrong) I had helped indirectly. Maybe someone I gave some advice to, or helped with a piece of kindness.
Then again, I am only 23, the main character was in his 0s when he died. I have a whole life time to find people to be my 5... or do I?
Anyway, a great book!

Well, for starters... I'd like to ask all... How do you get to heaven? It can't be decided based on our actions, because if it were... None of us would go. However, I do know that we get to heaven by Jesus Christ alone and by His awesome grace that can surpass the greatest and deepest sins. I know I'll go to heaven, not because I'm better than anyone else(Which I certainly am not), but because I am in love with Jesus and have proclaimed so. I know I'll meet Those I love and those I don't so much in Heaven, but most importantly, I'll see Jesus face to face.

1. I hope to meet The Father, Son and Holy Ghost (counts as one)
2. My Father - who passed away a few months ago (hope his waiting at the pearly gates for me)
3. My favourite Great Aunty
4. My wonderful mother-in-law
5. My Nana
Of course this is supposing that I do make it to Heaven!!! God forbid I go 'downwards' and who I most probably WILL NOT want to meet that end!!!!!!!!!!

I meet billions of good people here and I will meet again billions of them there. And for fear of shame at that rendez-vous, I am trying hard to make violent struggle against my lower self now. Who can tell when is that sudden time? Wishing that you also make proper preparations.

yeah, i read that book too, quite a nice one. once we die, we all forget our worldly relations. so as a result, i wont remember even if i see my parents, my husband and my kids. so hope fully i will see what i see there, everything new and welcoming. i can go to Heaven only after paying my price in Hell for all the misdeeds i have committed and then go to Heaven..
