Mitch Albom's "have a little faith: a true story"

Saturday ... gorgeous outside!  Temps will be close to 70.  Nice.

I've read a few books lately.  Mitch Albom's "have a little faith: a true story",  Jeanie L's "I'll Try Tomorrow" and Kathy Lester's "My Heavenly Encounter with Mom".  Albom is a noted sportswriter in the Detroit area who was originally from NJ.  He is Jewish, yet not a practicing Jew.  His tale is a true story of his quest to get to know the Rabbi he grew up under.  The reason was because Rabbi Lewis had asked Mitch, of all people, to deliver his eulogy when he died.  Mitch spent what ended up being 8 years meeting with the retired Rabbi at his home.  Mitch also intertwines in the book the life of a man named Henry Covington, a black man who was nothing but trouble until he encountered Jesus.  How these two men happened to meet and become involved is fascinating.  It's an interesting and engaging book that I was glad I read.
