Have a Little Faith (Mitch Albom)

I read this book over the weekend (cover-to-cover in one day, to be exact), and I remain a loyal Albom follower after this - his fourth major publication.

I am not sure what draws me to Mitch's works - his memoir style of writing, the topical nature of his books (as they apply to my life anyway), or the fact that I listened to him on the radio for years, and happen to feel a sense of connection to his thoughts and opinions. Regardless of the reason, each book has drawn me in and touched a corner of my heart.

Have a Little Faith, in particular, hits on the themes that have consumed my mind and heart over the past several years - faith in God, the powers of forgiveness and humility, connecting with others through common struggle, and living daily with hope after the unexpected loss of a child. I felt teary as I read the final page, pondering how a man that I have never met could write a book so fitting for me and my family. I am learning day by day that God works in this way - springing unexpected blessings on his children through the bold and generous talents of his other children.

Always grateful for a good read,
