Jewish meditations to strengthen us in our daily life

Rabbi Abraham Twerski has for over forty years worked as a doctor, rabbi and counselor. He is one of the foremost ' addiction specialists ' in the world. In this work he provides a series of daily meditations , food for thought, that give insight into life and can strengthen each of us in our daily life struggle. Here is a small sample " We generally pray for what we feel are the necessities of life : health, wisdom, and the means to live comfortably.But prayer is as much a necessity as those other things ." pp. 47 "True love is not self- centered.It exists when we are ready to sacrifice our convenience and pleasures for the happiness and well- being of another" pp. 31 " We can understand that an affluent father, who can get anything he wants, will still be thrilled by a gift he receives from his child; it will mean more to him than if he had bought the item himself . Why can't we think of God as being pleased with what we do for Him and enjoying the gifts of His children?"
