Eternal Sparks in a Finite World

Dr. Hoffman is a master at bringing heavenly matters down to earth. He lets us know that each one of us has a bit of The Divine Fire blazing in our hearts. His message comforts us with the knowledge that The Eternal Being is always at hand, ready to help and sustain us if we only seek His Presence. Dr. Hoffman's co-author Rabbi Zalman Shachter also writes with warmth and the gentle, sincerity of one who truly wants to share a precious secret with us. His insights ring with the clarity of an authentic spiritual master. I highly recommend this book to all who truly seek to serve God while living in the modern world. Dr. Hoffman's skill with the written word allows even a spiritual novice to be more mindful of the unique divine path each individual walks through life. This book is truly a Spark of Light.
