Have a Little Faith (book)

Have a Little Faith is a non-fiction book written by Mitch Albom, published in 2009. The book intertwines the lives of two clergymen: Albert Lewis, Albom's childhood rabbi who asked him to deliver his eulogy, and Henry Covington, a pastor of a poor, largely African-American church in Detroit.

The narrative alternates between Albom's experiences and conversations with Rabbi Lewis as he reflects on faith, death, and the meaning of life, and his involvement with Pastor Covington's struggling church, I Am My Brother’s Keeper, which faces constant financial difficulties and serves a community plagued by poverty and crime.

Through these two contrasting figures, Albom explores different expressions of faith and the challenges faced by religious leaders in modern society. The book delves into themes of belief, doubt, redemption, community, and the power of faith to provide hope and purpose, even in the face of adversity. Have a Little Faith also examines the importance of service to others and the role of faith in addressing social issues. The book emphasizes the universality of spiritual needs, regardless of background or circumstance.
