Mitch Albom is here. The author of Tuesdays with Morrie has written a new book that profiles a Jewish rabbi preparing for his own death and a Christian pastor who works with Detroit's homeless. Rabbi Lewis asks Albom to deliver the eulogy at his funeral, a request that develops into an eight year relationship. And, Albom steps into a different neighborhood and faith with the reformed addict Pastor Covington. He talks with Larry Mantle about doubt, death, and his book, "Have a Little Faith."
