Have a Little Faith: A True Story

Have a Little Faith begins with an unusual request: an 82-year-old rabbi asks Mitch Albom to deliver his eulogy. Feeling unworthy, Albom asks to understand the man better by visiting him away from the pulpit, and over time is moved to learn how human the Man of God really is. Meanwhile, Albom becomes involved in helping a Detroit pastor, an ex-con who now preaches to the poor and homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof. As America struggle with hard times and people turn more to their beliefs, Albom realizes a striking unity between these two worlds. And as the rabbi fights to stay alive and the pastor fights to keep his church afloat, Albom finally understands what both men had been teaching him all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself. Have a Little Faith is a book about the divine spark inside us all. It is one man's journey, but it is everyone's story.
