Mitch Albom's Rabbi asked him to deliver a eulogy for him when died. Mitch, taken aback by the request, said yes, but that he wanted to get to know his Rabbi better, so he began visiting him an hour or two here and there, thinking it would only take a couple of weeks, the weeks turned into years.

I really liked Tuesdays with Morrie, so I thought I’d read another Mitch Albom book. This one is basically life sketches of two religious figures, his Rabbi from when he was growing up and a man who was a criminal early in life, but then changed dramatically to become the minister of a poor congregation who did a lot to help the homeless.
There are definitely inspirational parts, but this book is a bit disjointed. Overall it was okay 3.5 stars.

Mitch Albom is asked by his rabbi to give his eulogy. Thsi leads to him visiting the rabbi and gradually renewing his faith. The book also tells the story of Henry Covington a former drug dealer turned pastor in a bad part of Detroit. The books discussions of faith, the ability to change for the better and death really touched me. I foudn this to be a very thought provoking book.

In the beginning, this book reminds me too much of the beloved Tuesdays with Morrie - only more like a copycat. But in the middle of the book, I fell in love with the way Mitch Albom described his Reb. Genuine, very human and oh so lovable, this book is so much more than just a story about religion and faith. And again, I was reminded of why I love Albom's writings since I read them for the first time, many many years ago. ...more
