Spring 2010

Have a Little Faith

May 23, 2010 - pp. 188 - 213 

Why do you think Albom chooses to place the quote from Mark on p. 188?  Did it make you think about the story and/or the quote in a new way? 

The opening pages describe Mitch’s attendance at another worship service at Henry’s church, which is now in such bad shape that they have created a makeshift tent on the side of the church in which to gather. 

bullet What was Mitch’s reaction to the sermon?  What was yours?
bulletHow does Henry appeal to the example of Paul?
bullet What do you make of the final sentences of the chapter on p. 193?

In these pages we learn that the Reb has bounced back; he had been overmedicated, which had been the cause of his recent difficulties. 

bulletHow did you feel when you realized why the Reb had been so ill?
bullet What was your reaction to the conversation between the Reb and Mitch about human nature? 
bulletDo you think humans are inherently good?  evil?  neither?  both?
bullet What about their conversation about forgiveness?

In one chapter, we (and Mitch!) finally learn the story of Cass, the elder in Henry’s church.

bullet What was Cass’ story?  How did he find Henry?
bulletWhy do you think he told Mitch his story?

For next week: Read pp. 214 - 249.  This will be our final week of class this spring.
