A True Story
a
am in LOVE with HAVE A LITTLE FAITH! I've been a fan of Mitch Albom's books
since TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, and have been anticipating this - his first
non-fiction book - since its release.
In a nutshell, Albom profiles two people: a rabbi who he has been asked to
write a eulogy for, and an inner-city convict turned pastor. Two very
different worlds, two very different religions, but one strongly shared
similarity : FAITH.
This book REALLY made me think about my OWN spirituality and what faith
means to me these days. The question Albom asks is: "what if faith wasn't
what divided us, but what brought us together?" In a world where SOOO many
wars are started in the name of religion and holier-than-thou attitudes
prevail amongst so many different groups, it seems like all of our problems
would be solved if only we could just say, "Hey, I have faith, you have
faith...however we get there doesn't matter. What matters is that we both
BELIEVE." Doing good for others is sometimes the greatest way to experience
pure joy. If we all gave a little more of ourselves unselfishly, I do
believe that peace would prevail.
HAVE A LITTLE FAITH is REALLY a good read. Beyond the story and the
characters (which in true Albom style, jump off of the page and into your
heart), the message is deep. It's a book that will stay with you for quite
awhile.
