Will you do my eulogy? With those words, Mitch Albom begins his long-awaited return to non-fiction. His journey to honour the last request of a beloved clergyman ultimately leads him to rekindle his own long-ignored faith. Albom spends years exploring churches and synagogues, the suburbs and the city, the 'us' versus 'them' of religion. Slowly, he gravitates to an inner-city pastor of a crumbling church that houses the homeless, and is stunned at how similar belief can be. As his own beloved cleric slowly lets go, Albom writes his final farewell, having learned that a faithful heart comes in many forms and places.

Summary: Why I liked "Have a Little Faith"
Comment: Mitch Albom is a fluid writer, very easy to read and like. If you liked "Tuesdays with Morrie", you'll love this one. Same vein, but better. Philosophical but light and enjoyable. One of the most accessible discussions about faith I can imagine. I'll re-read this one several times I'm sure!

Summary: Thank You, Morrie...
Comment: Aren't we fortunate that Mitch Albom spent those Tuesdays with Morrie?
One wonders how Mitch Albom's life would be different if he had not spent those Tuesdays as he did, if he had given in to his first inclinations and not gone to see his old friend and teacher.
This gifted, talented and introspective writer this good human being, might still be writing about (and living) sports, temporal things that matter only for a little while, and still looking for the deeper meaning of life, of it all.
Because he spent Tuesdays with Morrie, we now have another classic, not an inspirational book necessarily, but a book that uplifts and affirms life, the search for faith, for what if anything to believe, and for life's meaning.
As John Wesley said, and might say again if he could read this book, your heart will be "strangely warmed.
Especially recommended for Baby Boomers. Mitch is one of us, and in this book, he comments on, explores and has others share their insight, their keen insight, on the questions we Boomers all have as we age: Life, Love, Relationships, Death and What Comes Next..."
It will be a long time, a long, long time, before this book tastes what it calls "second death." (Pages 126-129) We Boomers will buy it, read it again and again, give it to others and, if we are fortunate--and they are fortunate--pass on its values to our children and the next generation.
Read this book. You might find yourself a better, happier, more fulfilled person. The opportunity is there. This is not a "preachy" book. Far from it. This book is about life as we live it, as others live it, and how we all come together in the end.
Good book. Thanks, Morrie, for influencing Mitch and for enabling him to influence and touch our lives, reminding us of what's really important.

Comment: If you liked Tuesdays With Morrie...you'll LOVE Have A Little Faith!
Mitch shows that no matter how different we may seem, we're all interconnected. This book reads like a smooth piece of fiction, but it's a true story--which makes it all the more fascinating.
