This is a lovely little book about faith, specifically about a Jewish rabbi who asks Mitch Albom to do the eulogy at his funeral. Mitch feels he must learn about the Reb before he can agree to do this and so he begins visiting and talking with him. Concomitantly, he tells the tale of an African American man who left the high life of money, drugs and crime in NYC to become the pastor of I Am My Brother's Keeper church in Detroit.
Mitch is like many of us, raised in a religious faith but no longer as much involved. So this is his story and our story too. It is journey of faith for Mr. Albom and, when read with an open mind, a challenge to all of us, gently probing and questioning what faith means.
