Summary:

Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, nine people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves and pull him in. The man, strange and quiet, claims to be the Lord. Is the man who he claims to be? What actually caused the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell? Years later, when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat-- the events recounted in a notebook-- it falls to the island's chief inspector to solve the mystery of what really happened. -- adapted from back cover

What would happen if we cried out to God for help and someone claiming to be God appeared before us? A group of shipwrecked passengers 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. In The Stranger in the Lifeboat, Albom weaves a web of fast-paced mysteries that jump time and keep us guessing. The story is narrated by Benji, who recounts the events in a notebook that is discovered - a year later - when an empty raft washes up ont he island of Montserrat. It falls to the island's chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened. 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.--back cover.
