Perfect book for spiritual folks with deep minds and limited time

Rabbi Wolpe is a genius at distilling the deepest thoughts into memorable, poetic, quintessential passages, perfect for spiritual folks of all faiths. I always feel enlightened, uplifted, and inspired to write my own journeys into questions of faith. This is a book to be read in small doses, throughout the years, not to sit down and read in one sitting; it is a treasure to revisit throughout life.
