The author of Tuesdays with Morrie, among other books, has written a short, sweet nonfiction story of two men of God. The first is Albom's lifelong rabbi, who has asked Albom to deliver a eulogy for him when he dies. The second is a former drug addict, who by his own admission has broken all of the ten commandments at least once. The stories are touching, and the book has good lessons for anyone willing to learn from them. ( )

I've just finished reading this book this evening. I was absorbed by the stories Albom shared with the reader. This book offered a number of spiritual insights, as proffered by the Reb, Albert. One anecdote that made me smile was when Albert's wife, Sarah, was asked how long she'd been married, she replied, "I've had thirty wonderful years with my husband...on Monday you get twenty great minutes, on Tuesday you get a great hour. You put it all together, you get thirty great years." Many wonderful ponderable thoughts await the reader. Don't miss this one! ( )

Profound. Poignant. Told simply, clearly, but the story speaks all the more beautifully because of the lack of clutter. The stories are woven intricately, carefully with one another and "outside" wisdom, building up one another to make the message, the tale of hte journey all the more real, strong, true. I will, if I can, buy a copy for all my loved ones this year. ( )

This short read will strengthen and encourage your resolve to live life to the fullest. ( )
