And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.” Mitch Albom, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Tuesdays With Morrie, tells the fictional story of the man who created the first clock with sticks and stones and water. As punishment for measuring God’s gift of time, the man is imprisoned for eternity in a cave where he is forced to hear the voices of all who suffer from his invention, including a suicidal teenage girl who wants her life to end, and a man dying of cancer, desperate for more years. Father Time has one chance to redeem himself…by returning to earth and helping these two souls discover the precious gift of every passing moment. In true Albom style, his inspirational message is delivered in prose cut to the bone. An entertaining and quick read bursting with heart. ]]> Wed, 05 Sep 2012 19:24:12 -0700
