Three times a day, the Jew turns his words to G-d. For those who venture beyond the bounds of habit, of words mumbled by rote in a swift monotone, prayer can be an oasis of serenity and meaning in an increasingly busy and stressful world. Meaningful prayer brings us to-knowledge and personal growth and, ultimately, is the means of connecting mortal with immortal, human to Divine. Every day, we have the opportunity to embark on a momentous spiritual adventure. The goal of this adventure? Connecting to G-d, to our Source. The means? Prayer. In Inner Peace: Achieving Self-Esteem through Prayer, Rabbi Yisroel Roll examines the words of the morning prayers from the perspective of Jewish sages throughout the ages. With warmth, wit, and perception, he shows how the ancient words resonate in today's world and in our daily lives. By seriously examining the wonderful words of the morning prayers we learn to sensitize ourselves to our own spiritual powers and responsibilities; we begin to appreciate our own unique abilities. Inner Peace: Achieving Self-Esteem through Prayer is not just another self-help book. It is a guide to meaningful living, a way of helping us make every prayer we utter count. It will leave us inspired. It will leave us transformed.
