Customer Reviews

universal message

This book, written by a Rabbi and forwarded by a Catholic priest, contains a universal message that all can hear. By taking examples from Bible stories and bringing them to present everyday life in short story form, Greenberg shows us how to live happier, more productive lives. His passages are humorous, touching, and every sentence is like poetry. It's a pity this book didn't get the marketing it deserved. It's nothing short of a treasure.
