MANILA, Philippines – “Will you do my eulogy?” Author Mitch Albom thought he was being asked a question but he was actually being given one. In Have A Little Faith, Albom explores faith through an eight-year journey with two men who have different beliefs and live in different communities.
Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven, delivers a heart-wrenching account of finding faith in relationships and searching for answers to life’s greatest mysteries and questions.
An 82-year-old rabbi from Albom’s hometown has an unusual request — for Albom to deliver his eulogy. In his mission to get to know the man better, he encounters a reformed drug dealer and convict who is serving as a pastor in a decaying Detroit church. Albom compares the worlds of the two men, Christian and Jewish, African-American and White, Rich and Poor, and observes how they struggle with their faiths and their lives. Despite the obvious differences, Albom begins to realize the striking similarities between the two men’s lives and between beliefs everywhere.
