I received an email and then a phone call from a company called Grace Media, a PR firm in Los Angeles that works with faith-based movie studios on reaching out to the faith-based community. They asked me if I would consider a phone interview with author Mitch Albom regarding his book Have a Little Faith, which has been made into a movie. The movie will be airing on the Sunday evening after Thanksgiving on ABC and is the true story of Mitch’s invitation to write the eulogy for an 82-year old rabbi from his old hometown and the relationship they develop over the next eight years as they share life together.
I visited Mitch’s website and knew that he was an author I would be honored to support. I already use one of his books in my classroom in literature circles (The Five People You Will Meet in Heaven), and my students love his writing.
So, next week they are scheduling my interview and this is what I would like to know from all of you…………….
What questions would you ask Mitch?
What would you like to know about his, his life, his work, his view of faith?
Click on “Mitch’s website” in the second paragraph above and visit his website then email me or post a comment here with your question.
I consider this interview “our” interview not mine, because Grace Media found me through my blog, and you are the reason my blog exists.
Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to post on yesterday’s blog for a chance to win Prayers for Today by Kurt Bjorklund.
Mitch Albom, Author
Always in my prayers,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
