Not your ordinary "little" book

Actually, when I bought this book, I didn't know it was a "little" book, and I was a "little" surprised when it arrived. So I read a few pages and then, meaning to read it between life stuff, I put it in my purse (along with everything else I own). Several days later, I went out shopping with my 21 year-old daughter on her birthday. I was rummaging through my purse looking for money when I found the book. "Wow, I forgot about this cool little book!" I decided to give it to my daughter for her birthday. I figured she'd probably lose it or leave it in the bathroom in the mall. A few weeks later, I was surprised to get a text message from her. "i read the kabbalah book i really liked it". This from someone who does not much think about religion, much less mysticism. I was jealous because I didn't have the book anymore. So I had to order another one. And then I got a chance to read it myself. It IS a little book, but with Kabbalah, you don't need many words to start thinking about bigger ideas. The stories and commentaries are not just interesting, they bespeak larger mysteries yet to be explored. There is an excellent bibliography suggesting where you might go next in your literary journey should your curiosity be sparked. Despite it's small size, it is a big book. And it fits so well in your purse (or pocket!)
