Ancient
Wisdom for the Modern Soul
by
Rabbi
Paul Plotkin
(About
The Author)
The book of Psalms throughout history
has formed the foundation of prayer liturgy for the great
western religions of Judaism and Christianity. Perhaps this
is because in most of the books of the Bible, God speaks to
us. In Psalms, we speak to God.
Rabbi Plotkin has attempted to capture
the very human voice of the Psalmist and share it with the
modern listener. He then draws on the stories of his life
and the stories of others to further connect the Psalmist
with the modern reader. The book has been described as "The
Book of Psalms" meets "Chicken Soup for the Soul".
"Your book is truly an inspiration. You bring the ancient psalms alive in our times with your wonderful stories. Thank you for touching our souls with these thoughts."

The Psalmists of old were men and
women who had experienced the joys of life as well as the
fears, anxieties and tragedies of the human experience. Somehow
no matter what the scenario, they were able to find an equilibrium
in life through a connection with the Divine. Rabbi Plotkin
lets us hear the real human voices behind the Psalms, connecting
us to them through their life situation, and then amplifying
that lesson through personal stories that will inspire the
reader today.
Rabbi Plotkin is very generous in opening the most private
and personal moments of his life to the reader, to share how
the messages of Psalms have impacted on him, and those around
him.
The book will be an inspiration and a guide to modern readers
of all religious backgrounds, who will find spiritual guidance
and emotional support in this book.
