Have a Little Faith: A True Story is Mitch Albom's second non-fiction work after Tuesdays with Morrie which I enjoyed. This story followed Mitch as he met with his rabbi for several years because his childhood rabbi had asked him to give his eulogy. At roughly the same time, Mitch came to know of a struggling Detroit pastor who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and was preaching from a church with no heat and a giant hole in the roof.
The story seemed mostly of a growth story of Mitch's character as he met with his rabbi. This was a good story, but Mitch tried to mix in the story about the Detroit pastor and did a poor job of convincing the reader that his rabbi and this other pastor were of equal importance or in someway had their stories intermingled.
