Author Mitch Albom, having been asked to write a eulogy for an elderly rabbi, begins a relationship with the man in order to get to know him better, and, in the process, also becomes involved with the plight of a local pastor whose church is falling down around him, leading Mitch to better understand the importance of faith.

Mitch Albom chronicles the time he spent working with a Jewish rabbi and a Christian pastor, observing their differences and coming to realize the similar ways that they employ faith in their fight for survival. Eventually, Albom begins to understand the links that bind both religions, as well as belief systems everywhere.
