Mitch Albom, the author of this book, is an American writer, let alone his work as a journalist, radio and television broadcaster, musician, screenwriter and dramatist. But what brought him the greatest fame are his inspirational stories and themes of writings. Have a Little Faith, a remarkable example of such a story, is a book that touches upon that sort of important questions people ask themselves, especially in hard times, turning more to their beliefs.

At the same time the life pushes him together with a Detroit pastor, who used to be a criminal in the old days, but changed his life and began preaching to the poor and homeless in a shabby old church. The author becomes involved in lives, Christian and Jewish, African-American and white, miserable and comfortable.

At the end of his narration the author comes to a conclusion, that these two worlds, whatever separates them so much, are more similar to one another than it seems.
