picked up this copy to re-read and share. Here's my review several years ago:

I really admire Mitch Albom's low-key, honest, unpretentious writing style, while touching on deep, hard-to-put-into-words insights and universals.

His relationship with the rabbi the last years of his life reminded me so much of Tuesdays with Morrie. But the addition of the parallel story of the African-American Christian Detroit pastor really added dimension!

I'm thinking most people of whatever faith (or perhaps no faith) with open hearts and minds would find this book thought-and spirit-provoking, powerful & disturbing while staying light, warm, and hopeful.
