Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:As a small child, Rachel Remen sat at the feet of her grandfather, an orthodox rabbi and scholar of the kabbalah, and learned the secret of life: that love and blessings given to others heals our loneliness, unhappiness, and in fact all our wounds. Remen uses her power as a master storyteller to bring to life the extraordinary blessings of ordinary existence. These exquisite pieces show us how we bless and serve each other most often without knowing it, how much life gives to us, and how many of our own blessings we have still yet to receive. There is nothing more comforting than hearing Rachel's grandfather speak of love, life, and God to a small, lonely, and very spiritual child who was trying to find her way in an unspiritual world. These are stories for keeping at the bedside, for those dark nights when we go out in search of our souls. Rachel's grandfather has blessed not only his beloved granddaughter but, through her, has blessed us all. Review:Through a series of unpretentious, affecting vignettes...She gently illustrates her advice through simple yet powerful stories...[an] exeptional book. (Publishers Weekly (starred review)) Review:One of the most extraordinarily moving books I have ever read. (Dr. Dean Ornish) Review:Rachel Naomi Remen has done it again. It is a wonderful book. (Marianne Williamson, bestselling author of Illuminata) Review:The stories in My Grandfather's Blessings are simple and profound, with healing lessons for all of us. (Andrew T. Weil, M.D.) Review:This book is a gift to the world-which it is sure to bless. (Christiane Northrup, M.D., bestselling author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom) Review:Rachel Naomi Remen is nature's gift to us, a genius of that elusive and crucial capacity, the human heart. (Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence) Review:This book actually heals and inspires as you read. It is a treasure house of great love. (Jack Kornfield, bestselling author of A Path With Heart) Review:This lovely book, like its author, is itself a blessing. Where some doctors treat symptoms, Dr. Remen heals souls. (Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People) Synopsis:From the bestselling author of "Kitchen Table Wisdom" comes a book that will wrap the warmth of a wise grandfather's love and the blessings of life around every reader. As a small child, Remen sat at the feet of her grandfather, an orthodox rabbi and scholar of the kabbalah, and learned the secret of life that she now shares: that love and blessings given to others heals our loneliness, unhappiness, and in fact all our wounds.
