Perfect book for spiritual folks with deep minds and limited time

Rabbi Wolpe is a genius at distilling the deepest thoughts into memorable, poetic, quintessential passages, perfect for spiritual folks of all faiths.

This is a book to be read in small doses, throughout the years, not to sit down and read in one sitting; it is a treasure to revisit throughout life.
