Have a Little Faith
by Mitch Albom
Albom is asked by his childhood rabbi to give his eulogy, and spends eight years visiting him while also befriending a Detroit pastor who was once a drug dealer. The two men's faith, one scholarly and one hard-won, and Albom's return to his own, make a gentle book about belief and community.
Read it if…
you want a warm, easy book about faith across traditions and what it does for people.
Skip it if…
you want theology or argument; it is story.
Three things you will actually use
- Faith is lived in community, not argued.
- Ask the old what they know; they are leaving.
- Second chances are real.
Do this first
Visit someone older who shaped you and ask what they have learned.
Our verdict
Gentle and warm.
