Have a Little Faith: A True Story

And he finally understands what both men had been teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself. 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.

Feeling unworthy, albom insists on understanding the man better, which throws him back into a world of faith he'd left years ago. 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.

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. It is one man's journey, but it is everyone's story. Although the texts, prayers, and histories are different, Albom begins to recognize a striking unity between the two worlds--and indeed, between beliefs everywhere.

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. What if our beliefs were not what divided us, two faiths, 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 communities--that will inspire readers everywhere.

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. 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.
