The pastor is a reformed drug dealer and preaches in his former neighborhood where his church is falling down and its roof has holes in it the condition of his church mirrors the condition of his congregation who are downtrodden, poor and predominantly homeless.Īlbom navigates both of these worlds on his journey Christian and Jewish, well-off and dirt poor, black and white. Coincidentally it is around the same time that Albom meets a pastor in his current home, Detroit. This journey of discovery takes him back to the faith-based world that he has left a few years previously. He wants to know more about the rabbi, to understand him and understand the essence of his beliefs and the path he has trodden through life. Albom does not know the man particularly well and not only does he feel unworthy of the task from a personal perspective but also from a spiritual one. Albom is asked to write and deliver a eulogy by a eighty-two year old rabbi from his old hometown. "Have A Little Faith" is the story of an eight year journey undertaken by Albom who is seeking life's purpose and is also trying to find his spiritual north again. "Have A Little Faith" is the second non-fiction book written by Mitch Albom, whose first memoir, " Tuesdays With Morrie", was among the the best-selling memoirs of all time.
