The Stranger in the Lifeboat

Categories: Literature & Fiction, Religion & Spirituality

Mitch Albom's novel of faith and survival. Adrift in a life raft after a deadly ship explosion, ten survivors pull a stranger from the sea who claims to be "the Lord" and says he can save them only if they all believe in him. Told through a notebook found when the empty raft washes up on Montserrat a year later, the story asks what we would do if God actually answered our cry for help.
