Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom. (Hyperion, 2009). In true Albom form, we find tender writing of fruitful lives and encouragement for living our own authentic faith experiences. Ahhhh. I actually discovered this book displayed in our church library and immediately snatched it up. I read it faithfully almost every night, and each time it warmed my heart and confirmed my belief in the sometimes joyful, sometimes plodding journey of Christian faith.
Portrayed are two very different men of God with very different paths and promises. Albom moves between their worlds of Jewish and Christian, white and African-American, well-to-do and impoversihed. Themes are survival, mentoring, perseverance, forgiveness, miracles and more.
This Christmas, reach for an old favorite or one just published. But make it a tender read - after all, Christmas is about faith, and promise!
