Mitch Albom excels at presenting stories that warm the heart and touch the soul.
Have A Little Faith is both a chronicle of his own spiritual journey and the biographies of two incredible men of faith – one Jewish and one Christian. I love the honesty of this book, and I love the insight into the Christian faith, which I claim as my own, and the Jewish faith, which is an ancient spiritual foundation in my mother’s family.
Blessings,

Wild Word Friday! I continue to feature Aleut and Athabascan words on Wild Word Friday to celebrate the May 28 release of my 6 Alaska novels in Ebook format by Open Road Integrated Media. (Find them at www.OpenRoadMedia.com) Male and Female Common Eider Ducks Today’s word KUKUTUX is from the Eastern dialect of the…
When I began the research for BONE FIRE, it didn’t take me long to decide that I needed to visit the area where most of the novel takes place — the lower Danube River. After a few months of consideration, my husband Neil and I decided that a Viking River Cruise was exactly what we…
Wild Word Friday! When you study languages and find an unusual looking or sounding word that is similar or the same in many languages, you’ve probably stumbled upon the verbal evidence of some widespread historic happening. HORDE is a just such a word. English: HORDE; German: HORDA; French: HORDA; Polish: HORDA. All come from the…
In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where I live, farmers have a tough life. The growing season in a good year is a mere three months, often less, with frosts lasting into June and sometimes starting up again in mid-August, but we do grow very high quality hay, and also have dairy farms and some sheep farms….
Wild Word Friday! Harrison Summer Memories… I cannot site any linguistic source to back my claim, but I’m sure that one of the first words in any human language was FIRE. I can, however, cite a very ancient word that has come down to English through thousands of years nearly unchanged from the Indo-European language…
Wild Word Friday! It’s unusual to find a word that in its noun form has two very opposite meanings, but HOST is one of those contrary words. In its most ancient form – ghosti, an Indo-European word – it meant stranger or guest. Right away you can see the dichotomy. A guest is someone we…

You so totally sold me on your Kindle, Lynn, that I bought one. (Think I told you that!) But like you, I miss the “packaging.” I gave Neil a Kindle Fire for Christmas and the covers are presented in color, which is very nice. But not quite the same!
I truly enjoyed reading “Have a Little Faith”. It touched my heart. I, too, am a fan of “packaging” and loved the ‘look’ of this little book!! That is what I miss most when reading on my Kindle.
I remember that you won that book, Trish. I’m like you. I love little purse-size books that I can tote with me!
Sue! Have a little faith was the book you sent me last year I was lucky to be a winner of a wonderful story. I do like small quaint books that are bound beautifully and easy to carry around in bag.
I think you’ll like it, Laura. It’s very much a message of and about faith.
I love Mitch Albom’s books. Thanks for mentioning this one, Sue. I hadn’t heard of it.
