| 1. |  | The Sabbath from Farrar Straus Giroux Price: $9.60 Customer Review:  A good book. Short and sweet, but you may have to read it twice if you want to get the deeper meaning. There's a lot to think about. |

| 2. |  | The Prophets from Hendrickson Publishers Price: $19.77 Customer Review:  Heschel aimed at illuminating the consciousness of the Israelite prophets, explaining their uniqueness in history and establishing the fundamental attitudes of prophetic religion. He identifies their major trait as a profound sensitivity to evil. This means complete intolerance to injustice and... |

| 3. |  | God in Search of Man : A Philosophy of Judaism from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $12.24 Customer Review: This book shifted my perspective 180 degrees on many issues. As a Christian student of theology and philosophy, I had acquired a number of stereotypical notions about Jewish thinking. This book blew me away. My thinking has been forever altered. |

| 4. |  | I Asked For Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology from The Crossroad Publishing Company Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This is a composite of the most poetic, sparkling bits of Heschel. It is to be savored, bite by delicious bite. Heschel is so rich I can only read him in small mouthfuls, one at a time. He is a major poet of Judiasm and a sage as well. |

| 5. |  | Man Is Not Alone : A Philosophy of Religion from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I am writing this review forty years after I read the book. A short portion of the book has stayed in my mind so forcefully that it directs what religious faith I have. I am a Protestant Christian Episcopalian but this book steers me. I have thought that a true God would not have required his... |

| 6. | [no image] | Man's Quest for God: Studies in Prayer and Symbolism (Hudson River Editions) from Scribner Book Company Customer Review: Rabbi Doctor Professor Heschel brings the reader to another level in mind, spirit and heart as it relates to prayer and our relationship with G-d. No matter what religion you will have a new commitment and appreciation of prayer. There is absolutely no one that writes and touches the soul like... |

| 7. |  | Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity: Essays from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $11.56 Customer Review: Mostly addresses and lectures aimed at specific issues to specific audiences and constituencies. Nevertheless, there is a core of brilliance in every work. And, more importantly, there are some very enduring lessons. The material on interfaith dialogue is possibly the only clear,... |

| 8. |  | Heavenly Torah: As Refracted Through the Generations from Continuum Price: $32.18 Customer Review: I stumbled across Heschel a few years ago, and I'm so glad that I did. As a Gentile, I cannot express enough the importance of Heschel for people of any faith. He shows the depth and beauty of Judaism and of the human spirit. Every book I have read by Heschel has moved me to tears, and this book is... |

| 9. |  | The Ineffable Name of God: Man: Poems from Continuum Price: $11.96 Customer Review: I read this book after reading Heschel's God in Search of Man. In these early poems, we see the seed that produced such rich fruit in Heschel's later years. His radically God-centered perspective is still refreshing today. |

| 11. |  | The Earth Is the Lord's: The Inner World of the Jew in Eastern Europe (A Jewish Lights Classic Reprint) from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $11.66 Customer Review: This book gives the niggun( the spiritual melody) of the Jewish soul in Eastern Europe. Heschel writes" The Jews in Eastern Europe lived more in time than in space.It was as if their soul was always on the way, and if the secret of their heart had no affinity with things. .. A niggun, a tune flowing... |

| 12. |  | A Passion for Truth (A Jewish Lights Classic Reprint) from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $17.09 Customer Review: The book analyses the thoughts of the Kotzker Rebbe by contrasting and comparing him to the Danish theologian and philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard. Few men could ever have conceived and written such an incisive work; no one else could have approached it with such an inner feel for the Hasidic... |

| 14. |  | Maimonides: A Biography from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $24.00 Customer Review: This is a scholarly and well researched biography of Maimonides that demonstrates the author's broad and deep grasp of the Maimonidean ouevre. The author is attuned to all the choicy pieces in the commentary on the Mishna, the Guide as well as the Yad. For example, on Avos 4:4 his quote of... |

| 18. |  | Insecurity of Freedom from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $26.00 Customer Review: I found this book used. It is the best find I've made in years. The chapter on Good and Evil is incredibly compelling in our age of boundless evil. The chapter on youth is pitch perfect even 40 years after it was written. |

Vishniac is a great artist whose use of the camera gives us a stark, clear picture of the life of this world. |
