Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom

I loved Tuesdays With Morrie but didn't really love The Five People You Meet In Heaven as much so I didn't know what to expect when I picked up Mitch Albom's new book but I ended up loving it as much as I did Tuesdays With Morrie.

Have A Little Faith is a true story about Mitch Albom being asked to give the eulogy at his childhood rabbi's funeral. He was shocked because he felt unworthy because he had gradually pulled away from his faith over the years and would not be the person to eulogize such a great spiritual leader, but he agreed. He spends several years getting to know the rabbi more personally than he had when he was younger and in the process, he finds faith again. During this time, he also meets a fascinating preacher in his hometown of Detroit who changes his attitude on judging people.

The story is inspiring and I really liked it. It gives a few tidbits to add to your life and reminds you of the importance of faith.
