by Rabbi Evan Moffic (Author)
We have so much information, and so little wisdom. Drawing from the teachings of the world's oldest religion, Rabbi Evan Moffic addresses the fundamental questions each of us faces. How can we live with fewer regrets? How can we find greater satisfaction and success as parents, siblings, children and friends? How can we find meaning and insight amidst endless distraction and information overload? In answering these questions, we find deep wisdom in the Old Testament. It is accessible, inviting and life-changing. It proclaims hope amidst despair and the personal relationship between God and every human being. This book opens it up for each of us.
