So I’ve been waiting for his next book. Looking out for it in the book stores every time I’ve been there. Suddenly it’s there, Mitch Albom’s new book, “Have a little faith” (HarperCollins). I rush home to read it. It begins with an unusual request that Albom gets from an 82-year-old rabbi: to deliver his eulogy. Albom wants to understand the rabbi better and starts to visit him, which throws him back into a world of faith he’d left years ago. Meanwhile, closer to his current home, Albom becomes involved with a Detroit pastor – a reformed drug dealer and convict – who preaches to the poor and homeless in a decaying church with a hole in its roof.
As usual the book is well written, easy to read, describes the character in detail and there is a strong story that needs to be told. However, this time Albom doesn’t manage to move me as he did for instance in “Tuesdays with Morries” I continue to read and before I know it, it’s over.
I think the main difference in this book is that the reader is an observer instead of participating in the book. Like seeing a drama at the theatre but having a veil in front of your face. It never gets close to me even though I have great respect for Albom’s realisation that there is a unity between the Jewish and Christian world.
Yes, I’m a bit disappointed not so much in this book, but how long I have to wait to experience the same sensation as I did with “Tuesdays with Morries”.

I didn’t think there were any sites with content this good. There sure is a lot of trash out there online. I’ll definitely be back to check out future posts…Thanks

hello smart little website you have there
I work with the very same design template on mine yet unfortunately for whichever reasons it looks to reload faster on this blog although this blog is carrying a little more content. Have you been applying any individual plugins or widgets which quicken it up? Do you think you could quite possibly display the titles so I could use these in my own site so twilight new moon fans could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and films more quickly I’d personally be pleased – kudos in advance
