The book chosen for discussion is “The Stranger in the Lifeboat” by Mitch Albom.   This is a recently released book that is getting a lot of attention.  Mr. Albom, if you will remember, is the author of the much acclaimed book “Tuesdays with Morrie.”  It can be purchased on Amazon for $11.99 for Kindle and both hardcover and paperback for $15.07.  Here is the synopsis from the book jacket: What would happen if we cried out to God for help and someone claiming to be God actually appeared before us?  In Mitch Albom’s profound new novel, a group of shipwrecked passengers must face that challenge when a strange man they pull from the water says he can save them all, but only if they believe in him. Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, ten people struggle for survival at sea.  Short on food, water, and hope, they spot a mysterious man floating in the waves.  They pull him in. "Thank the Lord we found you”, a passenger says. "I am the Lord", the man whispers. So sets the scene in Mitch Albom’s most beguiling and inspiring novel yet, one that drives to the core of our deepest beliefs.   Paced like a thriller, yet full of Albom’s signature life wisdom, “The Stranger in the Lifeboat” is a uniquely uplifting story that will leave you examining your own beliefs, while suggesting that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them. Hope you enjoy the book and that you will join us on March 22nd.
