Have a Little Faith – Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom’s second non-fiction (first was Tuesdays With Morrie). It tells Albom’s experience writing the eulogy for a Rabbi from his hometown . The book is written in the same vein as Tuesdays With Morrie, in which the main character, Mitch, goes through several heartfelt conversations with the Rabbi in order to better know and understand the man that he would one day eulogize. Through this experience, Albom writes, his own sense of faith was reawakened, leading him to make contact with a pastor of a church, in Detroit, where Albom was then living. That pastor, a past drug addict, dealer, and ex-convict, ministered to a congregation of largely homeless men and women in a church so poor that the roof leaked when it rained. From his relationships with these two very different men of faith, Albom writes about the difference faith can make in the world.

It’s a very inspiring book written in a simple enjoyable way, its about individuals’ faith and faith itself, regarding of what that faith is. Personally I consider it my Mitch Albom’s favorite.

“‘faith is about doing.  You are how you act, not just how you believe.”‘
