The Time Keeper

I flew through the book The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom. I had just finished another book and thought I would give this a try. My dad really likes this author. His books are Christian based and have a lesson or message. I couldn’t have read this book at a more perfect time.

After talking about how burnt out I have been, I needed this book and message. Here’s a summary:

For Albom fans, this adult fairytale will inspire and satisfy readers in search of a more meditative approach to life in a fast-paced yet wonderful world Irish Independent The theme of the book is not so much that we should gain more time, but that we should spend the time we have more wisely. And in that there is certainly a message for us all. This is an unforgettable story, poignant, inspirational and beautifully written.

I really liked this book. I thought it was written very creatively. It was from the view of three different people, in different times. And their stories all tie together in the end. I have been struggling to prioritize my time and use it more wisely, so this book really resonated with me.

One of the characters is a high school girl who is struggling with things in her life. As I was reading her story, I felt like this would be a great book for any young adult to read. With the new technology era and Facebook at our fingertips, bullying and high school is very different from the days when technology wasn’t as prevalent as it is today. If you have a young adult, I highly recommend they read this book. I think it will put a lot of things into perspective without it coming directly from mom and dad.

Happy reading!
