Have a little faith by Mitch Albom

In this heart warming book, the author is asked by his childhood rabbi to do his eulogy. Since Mitch hasn't seen the rabbi in such a long time, he wants to get to know him again. Mitch often goes to visit him so that Mitch knows exactly what to say when the time comes. Every time they meet Mitch learns more and more about the rabbi which he calls "Reb". In time they become very close. Through rough medical times for the "Reb" Mitch got more and more worried about what to say at his eulogy. The rabbi always knew the right thing to say. When Mitch asked the rabbi what people feared most about death he replied "being forgotten". Throughout the book Mitch also talks about Henry who started out as a druggy and later decided to turn to Jesus. Throughout the book the two figures really change Mitch's persective of people. I really recommend this book. Mitch Albom is a great author and the book really made me think about life too. It is fairly short, but its very meaningful.
