Have a little Faith

Have a little faith by Mitch Albom, what a truly wonderful book, I have enjoyed all his books. I get so focused I must finish it but then am sad when it is done. He has a way of writing that makes it that much easier to read. The book is about a Rabbi and a Christian of My Brother's keeper and how their lives are so different but their faith is similar.

An excerpt......
"The Reb once did a sermon on how the same things in life can be good or evil, depending on what, with free will, we do with them. Speech can bless or curse. Money can save or destroy. Science can heal or kill. Even nature can work for you or against you; fire can warm or burn; water can sustain life or flood it away. But God did not create bad things, He leaves it to us. "

"Why marriages don't last......Because the word 'commitment' has lost its meaning. I'm old enough to remember when it used to be positive. A committed person was someone to be admired. He was loyal and steady. Now a commitment is something you avoid. You don't want to tie yourself down. It's the same with faith, we'll take Him when we need Him, or when things are going good. But real commitment? It requires staying power- in faith and in marriage. "

" "Happiness in a tablet." I knew depression was real, and in many cases required medical attention. I also knew we overused the word. Much of what we called "depression" was really dissatisfaction, a result of setting a bar impossibly high or expecting treasures that we weren't willing to work for."

This is truly a book worth reading, I plan to read it again very soon.
