THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN – YEAR 1
The purpose of this book review is to reveal and discuss concepts and
ideas that will help to create the proper paradigm for leadership. It is my
hope that you will first and foremost enjoy the read. This book has been
chosen because it has been an inspiration to so many people.
Once you get through it once, note any highlights or questions that come
to your mind. These will be useful in our class discussions.
Specifically, you are required to:
1. Read through it once – for your own leisure, making notes,
highlighting as you wish (these are your books).
2. Go through it again, looking for concepts and principles of
leadership that will help to better you to serve others.
3. Write a 500-800 word summary (1.5 space, 12 pt. Times New
Roman font) based on the following:
You will meet Eddie, an old man who is faced with the gnawing question,
“Have I made a difference in the world?” He encounters people from his
past that help him to see his life from a different point of view. Discuss the
lessons Eddie learns from the 5 people he meets in heaven, as well as what
points can you draw from the book to help you in life.
