Henry Covington so soon. He'll truly be missed. I'm so grateful he was able to turn his life around and help so many others do the same. RIP Rev Covington. Mitch is an excellent writer and quality human being too. All of his books are superb. It’s a real shame to lose Rev. Henry Covington so soon. He’ll truly be missed.

Have A Little Faith was a book I devoured in about two days. Thank you Mitch Albom for writing about this great man and sharing it with the world.

I AM SHOCKED AND SADDENED. I AM A FORMER DETROITER AND I FOLLOWED THE ARTICLES OF MITCH ALBOM OF THE DEAR PASTOR'S RUNDOWN CHURCH IN DETROIT. IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. AGAIN AS I READ OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TOGETHER TO FIX THE ROOF OF THAT RUNDOWN CHURCH, I WAS BROUGHT TO TEARS. I THOUGHT GOD IS GOOD. THERE ARE STILL CARING PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. BUT THIS MOVING TRIBUTE TO PASTOR COVINGTON IS MORE THAN I CAN FATHOM. THESE WERE TRULY THE WORDS OF A DEAR DEAR FRIEND. REST IN PEACE DEAR PASTOR COVINGTON, YOUR WORK IS DONE HERE ON EARTH.

It moved me and made me cry.....just to think that he stayed one day longer to visit family and friends.....maybe he knew or had a feeling that he should do this now or he will never be able too do it....i have thought and done things on gut feelings also....only to be glad i did it, due to a death of a family member and friends. Life is to be live to the fullest and enjoyed on a daily basic....because we just don't know when it will end. May you rest in peace Pastor Covington and tell God Hi for me. O wow……what a story.

I am sure that as he entered into eternity and stood at God's Throne, he received the confirmation for which he had waited, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

The time is coming when Jesus will rule unopposed as King over the entire earth. Mankind will no longer be governed by human kings, presidents, or politicians. Instead, they will be ruled by one King and one government—the Kingdom of God. God will fulfill his promises through the second most powerful person in the universe—the resurrected Jesus Christ.
