About This Book
"Clear some space on your bookshelf for Mitch Albom's, Have a Little
Faith, the story of a faith journey that could become a classic. Those
who were born into faith, have lost faith, or are still searching will
all be engaged and challenged by this powerful story of "finding faith"
in relationships with others and with something greater than ourselves.
Never satisfied with easy answers or soft platitudes, Mitch explores
some of life's greatest mysteries and unanswered questions with great
honesty, depth and self reflection. " -- Jim Wallis, CEO and Founder
of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening
What if our beliefs were not what divided us, but what pulled us
together?
In Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom offers a beautifully written story
of a remarkable eight-year journey between two worlds--two men, two
faiths, two communities--that will inspire readers everywhere.
Albom's first nonfiction book since Tuesdays with Morrie, Have a Little
Faith begins with an unusual request: an eighty-two-year-old rabbi from
Albom's old hometown asks him to deliver his eulogy.
Feeling unworthy, Albom insists on understanding the man better, which
throws him back into a world of faith he'd left years ago. Meanwhile,
closer to his current home, Albom becomes involved with a Detroit
pastor--a reformed drug dealer and convict--who preaches to the poor and
homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof.
Moving between their worlds, Christian and Jewish, African-American and
white, impoverished and well-to-do, Albom observes how these very
different men employ faith similarly in fighting for survival: the
older, suburban rabbi embracing it as death approaches; the younger,
inner-city pastor relying on it to keep himself and his church afloat.
As America struggles with hard times and people turn more to their
beliefs, Albom and the two men of God explore issues that perplex modern
man: how to endure when difficult things happen; what heaven is;
intermarriage; forgiveness; doubting God; and the importance of faith in
trying times. Although the texts, prayers, and histories are different,
Albom begins to recognize a striking unity between the two worlds--and
indeed, between beliefs everywhere.
In the end, as the rabbi nears death and a harsh winter threatens the
pastor's wobbly church, Albom sadly fulfills the rabbi's last request
and writes the eulogy. And he finally understands what both men had been
teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something
bigger than yourself.
Have a Little Faith is a book about a life's purpose; about losing
belief and finding it again; about the divine spark inside us all. It is
one man's journey, but it is everyone's story.
Ten percent of the profits from this book will go to charity, including
The Hole In The Roof Foundation, which helps refurbish places of worship
that aid the homeless.
