Best Nonfiction Book: Have a Little Faith

Mitch Albom's first foray into nonfiction since Tuesdays with Morrie traces the lives of two religious leaders: an elderly rabbi in a well-to-do suburb and a pastor in an urban dilapidated church. Nearing death, the rabbi asks Albom to write his eulogy. The last request inspires the author's quest to understand life's purpose and uncover the common spark that fueled both men's spiritual journeys.
