Mitch Albom is the author of and a prominent figure in Have a Little Faith, and also a writer known for Tuesdays With Morrie and other works with religious morality and anecdotal storytelling. As the narrator of applicable sections in the text (those describing scenes where he was present), Albom offers readers an intimate view of his personal qualities, including his intelligence, curiosity, and, at times, cynical view of the world. Along the way, Albom shares the facts of his life to the extent that they are relevant to the subject at hand, focusing mainly on his growth and development in matters of faith. As the narrative opens, Albom has grown somewhat distant from the faith he practiced in his youth, with his busy career as a journalist limiting his time for other pursuits. In agreeing to give the Reb’s eulogy, however, Albom sets himself up to reconnect with his roots, culturally, religiously, and even personally.
As the narrative progresses, and under the Reb’s influence, Albom’s faith both broadens and deepens. It broadens as he begins to explore faith in general as a key component of the human experience, leading him to study other cultures and faith systems, including Henry Covington’s.
