The Lord Is My Shepherd - Why Do I Still Want? Rabbi Paul Plotkin.
Austin, TX: Sunbelt Eakin, 2003. 187 Pages. $21.95. Softback. ISBN: 1-57168-754-8

Rabbi Plotkin is Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Am in Margate, Florida. His vast pastoral experience makes him uniquely qualified to write a spiritual book for modern times based on the biblical Psalms. While there are many books written on the Psalms, this one is written from a very personal perspective. He combines anecdotes, personal stories, and wisdom, as he navigates his way through the most spiritual book of ancient times, and perhaps of all times. The author shows that even though Psalms are ancient, they have great relevance for today's world. His writing is clear and readable, engaging and helpful. Anyone who is need of hope, comfort, joy, support, or guidance in any way, will benefit greatly from this very well put together analysis of the Psalms for the modern reader.
