I thought I was going to receive an application of Torah to a wide range life's challenges.

What I got was a culturally Jewish autobiography.

Two thumbs up for this excellent book. Rebbetzin Jungreis did it again. As its predecessor "The Committed Life", this edifying book leads you through many real life issues and the way Judaism helps you handling them. It is written by a seasoned character who has already worked wonders in the outreach world. I would say this reading could be profitable to both Jews and non Jews.

This book is written for everyone who wants to understand the source of our strength and love.

SHALOM

I CAN REALLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE.

ALL THE BEST

Dear Readers or potential readers,
If their is any book that I recommend on faith this is it. I am a intellectual person, in all humility please forgive me. Yet this book is not about the mind but the heart. If their was ten books that I would choose to take to a deserted island or a 40 year journey through the Negev. This would be one of them...really. Rabbitzin Jungreis is a real Tzadika for our time...I am serious!
I love her insights on how too really approach G-D in this day and age. It is simple, reading and practicing the Torah with all your heart.
If you are a Jew/ess in search of something real, then read this book. If you are a Jew/ess who is soul searching, then look no further. If you are a Parent who is worried about the future of their children...this book is for you. If you are looking for your soulmate...don't over look reading this book first.
I am a true blue Sephardim Spanish/Portuguese, Andalusian Jew, I love intellectual things, read my reviews, but sometimes you just need the truth i.e. Torah Emet, Baruch Ata Amonay Elohkinu Melech Ha Olam, Aher Natalanu TORAT EMET, Vehaye Olam Betuchainu, Baruch Atah Amonay, Noten HaTorah.
The truth of the Torah superceeds everything. Look, Christianity has nothing on a real true blue G-D fearing Jew, who loves HaShem and believes that Our G-D is real and answers prayers to boot. Is this not the true message of Faith...The Good news really is... our G-d, the G-d of Zion, Adon Olam, Amonay Tzevaot, HaShem, El Shadai...Elokai Avutainu is real and has a purpose for you, oh childern of Israel. Just turn the pages, as rabbitzin Jungreis eloquently writes and encourages one to do so.
She is simple in her approach, live like a G-d fearing Jew, pray with kavanah, practice chessed and watch your world turn around.
If you want to be encourged, if you need your life to get better, if you want answers...read this book and turn to HaShem with all your heart it really works.
This book is needeed in every Jewish library.

Geared more toward the Jewish audience, this book offers valuable insight to everyone. Lots of stories of how precious life is and how we can develop a close connection to our creator. The book like the Rebbetzins work is written with heart and soul, very authentic. My one qualm is that I feel the Rebetzin while doing so much great work, may favor the financially successful a bit more than necessary.

But I have heard that she is nice to everyone. A very nice work from a fine person.

Everyone deals with challenges and it can be hard to understand why things happen. This book helped me focus on my role/actions, rather than on trying to understand the inexplicable events of life. I love Rebbetzin Jungreis' work and this book exceeded my expectations. Very uplifiting and inspirational work. I hope Rebbetzin Jungreis puts out more books in the future.
