"Have a Little Faith" by Mitch Albom

Just imagine that Pastor Shoffner calls you to his office and tells you he would like for you to prepare and deliver his eulogy. Of course, we aren’t talking about any time soon but still - - a daunting assignment. This is exactly what happens to Mitch Alban in Have a Little Faith.

After he gets over the shock, Mitch realizes that he needs to know more about his rabbi if he is going to be able to write intelligently about him. So he begins a series of visits – they don’t even live in the same town – that take Mitch to some strange places – including the I Am My Brother’s Keeper Ministry. He meets a 400 lb. ex-con preacher and a man with no legs while finding out his rabbi (who sings constantly) has a life beyond the temple.

Will Mitch be ready when the time for a eulogy arrives? What will he say about his old rabbi? This little book has lots of “Aha!” moments so keep your pencil handy. Given to the CVL by Nina Shell
