Have A Little Faith - Mitch Albom

                                      "When you come to the end, that's where God begins."

One of the best book i read about faith and life. Just brilliant. Thanks to Mitch Albom for bringing this beautiful stories to the world.I bought this book sometime back ,may be six month before, but only last week i took notice of this small book and flipped some pages. When i read the first page, i was not able to stop reading, i kept on reading for 2 hours. After 2 hours i kept the book down and started to think of my faith and my attitude towards people.

“No matter which road you decide to take on your life's journey, just make sure God is an intimate part of it”

The book tells the life of two very different people -Rabbi Albert Lewis and Pastor Henry Covington. Albert Lewis from his childhood was pious and interested in helping and serving others, so he joined in seminary in second attempt.Henry Covingtong was a drug addict and convicted criminal who turned to God one night. One day Albert Lewis asked Mitch if he can write eulogy for him. That question made each other friend for next eight years till Albert Lewis death. That also made Mitch to learn many things in life specially about faith.

            "Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe." 

This book is not about any religion , its about people who built communities based on their faith and good will.Author leaves the role of religion/faith to the reader ,he is not talking about it , he just shares his experience with these two characters.

"The secret to happiness...be satisfied and be grateful." 

"It is far more comforting to think God listens and said no, than to think that nobody's out there." 

"“Having more does not keep you from wanting more. And if you always want more - to be richer, more beautiful, more well known - you are missing the bigger picture, and I can tell you from experience, happiness will never come.”

 “"The only different between ‘marital’ and ‘martial’ is where you put the ‘I’.”

"“With a little faith, people can fix things, and they truly can change, because at that moment, you could not believe otherwise.” 

This book is sentimental with life advice .For me this book is very insightful and thought provoking .And in fact it really changed the way i accept God, renewing faith and fellow human beings . The big advantage of these kind of books are their use of simple language  and Mitch Albom is a master of it.
