"Using his characteristically succinct style, Albom’s prose
offers readers an elegantly simple perspective on faith, tolerance, service and
love while maintaining the complex reality of his characters’ true life stories…Weaving
these narratives together could, with a less talented writer, muddle into
incoherence. Albom’s expertise in piecing together a web of snapshot stories,
however, reveals levels of meaning that could not be adequately told in any
other way. He avoids repetitious overemphasis—the bane of much inspirational
literature—and allows meaning, whether his own or the reader’s, to emerge with
a quiet, confident grace. Albom’s latest is a masterpiece of hope and a moving
testament of interfaith understanding.”
--Publishers Weekly
“This book is the
answer to anyone who believed they’d never again read a book with the soul and
grace of Tuesdays With Morrie. Have A Little Faith is
an absolute wonder—tender, transporting and deeply moving, a profound
meditation on kindling the light that struggles in billions of hearts.”
—Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent and Limitations
“Have a little Faith is a compassionate read
that allows us all to take a deeper look at our lives. In chronicling a
congregation with a hole in its roof, Mitch Albom helps show the true
definition of ‘Church.’ It is not the building, it is the people and their
faith”
—Bishop T.D. Jakes, chief pastor, The Potter’s House
“Once again, Mitch Albom has given us a heart-warming true

hope, and the meaning of serving others, and the yearning to be involved in
something greater than ourselves. A beautifully conveyed book."

"Mitch Albom tells the story of two incredible men
whose lives demonstrate what faith is all about. They impacted his life, and

"Clear some space on your bookshelf for Mitch
Albom’s, Have a Little Faith, the story of a faith journey that
could become a classic. Those who were born into faith, have lost
faith, or are still searching will all be engaged and challenged by this
powerful story of “finding faith” in relationships with others and with
something greater than ourselves. Never satisfied with easy answers
or soft platitudes, Mitch explores some of life’s greatest mysteries and
unanswered questions with great honesty, depth and self reflection.
