Mitch Albom's Have a Little Faith - Reviewed by Ron Reynolds

From the author of "Tuesdays with Morrie." This is in the same genre
and a delightful read.
Mitch is asked to prepare a eulogy by his old Rabbi (Reb) Albert Lewis.
Not understanding why, he accepts and thus follows a spiritual journey
for Albom that has him for thinking about his Jewish roots but also the
reasons for our need for belief whether it be in a Creator or perhaps
why we need to have any outer faith outside our own inner belief in the
"self"
A thoughtful read for those who like the challenge of asking, "Do we
need Faith," is the discipline of religious practice really necessary to
our needs in this 21st. century?
Mitch's book is a very interesting non-intellectual look at what some of
us may need reminding of, that material means may not provide us with
the inner peace many of us are searching for. A very good book.
