Albom's first nonfiction book since \u003ci\u003eTuesdays with Morrie, Have a Little Faith\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an unusual request: an eighty-two-year-old rabbi from Albom's old hometown asks him to deliver his eulogy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Feeling unworthy, Albom insists on understanding the man better, which throws him back into a world of faith he'd left years ago. Meanwhile, closer to his current home, Albom becomes involved with a Detroit pastor -- a reformed drug dealer and convict -- who preaches to the poor and homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moving between their worlds, Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, impoverished and well-to-do, Albom observes how these very different men employ faith similarly in fighting for survival: the older, suburban rabbi embracing it as death approaches; the younger, inner-city pastor relying on it to keep himself and his church afloat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As America struggles with hard times and people turn more to their beliefs, Albom and the two men of God explore issues that perplex modern man: how to endure when difficult things happen; what heaven is; intermarriage; forgiveness; doubting God; and the importance of faith in trying times. Although the texts, prayers, and histories are different, Albom begins to recognize a striking unity between the two worlds -- and indeed, between beliefs everywhere. In the end, as the rabbi nears death and a harsh winter threatens the pastor's wobbly church, Albom sadly fulfills the rabbi's last request and writes the eulogy. And he finally understands what both men had been teaching all along: the profound comfort of believing in something bigger than yourself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHave a Little Faith\u003c\/i\u003e is a book about a life's purpose; about losing belief and finding it again; about the divine spark inside us all. It is one man's journey, but it is everyone's story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ten percent of the profits from this book will go to charity, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hole In The Roof Foundation\u003c\/i\u003e, which helps refurbish places of worship that aid the homeless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMitch Albom\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, playwright, and screenwriter who has written seven books, including the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eTuesdays with Morrie\u003c\/i\u003e, the bestselling memoir of all time.
