Have a Little Faith: The Story of a Last Request by Mitch AlbomMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While this book has many nice thoughts, I felt that the author missed the point entirely. He spent 8 years visiting and interviewing his childhood rabbi in order to give his eulogy; he also gets to know a local minister and his congregation. The experiences of these men are touching, they have overcome hardships and prejudice and have spent their lives in service to their fellow men. However, the author, while admiring their commitment to God - doesn't get it. You have to turn to God with faith - not just admire others who do so.

"Faith is like a little seed...." Maybe it will grow.
