Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom also wrote 'Tuesdays with Morrie', among other titles.

This is a true story. Albert Lewis, a Rabbi with a lifelong relationship with his God, asks Mitch Albom to deliver the eulogy when he dies. But Mitch has almost left his faith behind and has certainly left his childhood life behind as he has built a successful career as a journalist  Nevertheless, Mitch agrees and, over the next 8 years Mitch visits Albert regularly and grows to know him as a man rather than just as the Rabbi and teacher of his childhood. Genuine affection grows between the two men and, as Albert's health deteriorates with advancing age, Mitch learns some valuable lessons about material and spiritual values.

As the story develops, it draws in another man of another faith, a Christian pastor converted from a life of crime and violence, who ministers in a Church of dire poverty who, nevertheless, shines a light of joy and hope.

Two very different men of different faiths who, nevertheless, make their worlds better places.

Thank God somebody has good news to tell!
