This was the second book that I've read from him, the other one was For One More Day. Having different significance, both books still made me cry.
Have a Little Faith is actually about three persons. The first one is Albert Lewis (The Reb), Mitch Albom's rabbi from his congregation back in New Jersey, the second one is Henry Covington, a criminal who became a Christian minister, and the last one is Mitch Albom himself, a man with very little faith.
I really don't have the intention of reading this book, but when the school year started, I find myself asked by my professor if I already read Mitch Albom's works. I told her no, because For One More Day was the only book that I've read from Mitch. So when I was scrolling through some titles on my cellphone last week, I told myself that I'm going to re-read For One More Day, but the one that I installed was Have a Little Faith!
The first thing that came to my mind when I finished reading this was, even though we have different religions, we all have similarities in our beliefs and we all share the same faith. For me, that was the lesson that I've learned. The other one is, no matter how dark our past is and no matter how heavy our sins are, we can always turn a new leaf in our lives and start fresh. Why? Because the Lord forgives and it is only fair that we can also forgive ourselves for the sins we made.
Maybe the reason why I stumbled upon this because God knew I have little faith at that time and He knew all I needed was a push. I sincerely recommend this book to anyone, regardless of what religion you are in. And remember, always have faith! ;)
