Have a Little Faith / Mitch Albom / 254 pgs.

Mitch Albom gives us an inspirational story of two men, with different starting points but the same finish.

Albom is asked by his childhood Rabbi to give the eulogy at the Rabbi’s funeral.  After the decision to grant the request, in order to do the Rabbi justice, he feels he needs to understand, not just the Rabbi, but the man.  What begins as a favor for the Rabbi, evolves into Albom finding a part of himself he has forgotten. 

Henry, a former drug-dealer and convict, becomes involved in Mitch Albom’s life by accident.  Out of curiosity, Albom enters a derelict church near his home, and to his surprised finds Henry preaching to a unconventional congregation.  Albom is made to face his prejudice and cynicism, but in return is given the opportunity to grow in his faith.

It is a true story of how it is never too late to find faith in yourself and other.
