Everyone could use a little faith

It does not matter what religion you call your own. This book has something for everyone. It is about life and the part that you play in this world. Each of us will see a part of ourselves in this book. From the young student of religion, the adult who has wandered away from religion, the person who attends services every week, or even the person looking for something more, there is inspiration in this book. I laughed, cried, remembered, and thought about what I could do better. The relationship between the author and both of the men of God opens the reader's eyes to current and past relationships in their own lives. I truly enjoyed the journey this book took me on.

Have a little faith

Amazing! I have always loved this author and it seems he only gets better with each book he produces. I enjoyed seeing the relation between different faiths and how we all connect with love. After all love is God and God is love.

A skillful weaving together of cultures and themes--middle class Jewish family life and economically depressed Black urban conflict--Have a Little Faith surprises, provokes, and inspires. Leading inevitably to death, it turns continuously to joy.

The story is short, best not reduced to precis, except to say it elaborates the fateful plea of an elderly rabbi to the author to conduct his eulogy. The time frame is anybody's guess. The circular inclusion of a young black drug offender, his trials and tribulations, spinning toward ultimate redemption and transformation, can seem disjointed. In fact, except in the ranging life of the author, they never intersect. Points are crafted with humor, tragic bleakness, and hope.
This is the kind of book you immediately want to give away and trust the recipient to do the same. That's exactly what I did.

Terrible

This book is so boring

Hi

This is a good book

Such an inspirational story!

I loved reading this book! I did not want it to end. I am a very spiritual and religious person and so reading this book was a very joyful experience. I also enjoyed the weaving of the two religious men's narratives together.

Wonderful and remarkable

Such an unbelievably moving story. It makes you stop and realize what a little kindness can do for the people around us. Mitch Albom proves once more that there are few better at their craft than he is. This isn't a story; it's an act of faith put into words.

Inspirational

This is the first book I read by Mitch Albom and plan on reading his other books as well. This story was well worth my time and may I add an emotional read. Through only this one book Mitch Albom has helped me to grow in my faith.

Just what I needed...

This book is a gift of faith and hope. Really worth reading over and over.

Exploring the human condition and personal response is a worthwhile endeavor.

As a Detroiter, I appreciate Albom's defense and protrait of our city -- the big heartedness and it's warts. The fact that we are all more alike than not in our struggles could not be made clearer.

So good

I really like it and they did the movie at our house.

Great book

This was a really terrific read that went by too quickly!

Heartwarming

See how different paths of different faiths intertwine from start to end. Nice work Mr. Mitch!
