Publisher Description: Life makes warriors of us all. The "gentle weapon" of prayer can ease the soul and strengthen the heart, while bringing us closer to God and to a deeper understanding of ourselves. Two hundred years after he lived, the warm insights and generous wisdom of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810) continue to be a source of comfort for those in search of an uplifting perspective on life. "When you pray, hold nothing back from God. Pour out your heart with honest openness, as if you were speaking to your very best friend." A "little treasure" of prayers that will open your heart and soul and give voice to your deepest yearnings. Using the startling wisdom of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, written two hundred years ago, The Gentle Weapon will help you talk with God and enable you to hear your own voice as well. This spiritual gem makes a loving gift to friends, family or to ourselves when words of comfort are what's needed the most. |
