Aryeh Ben David
Do you ever feel disconnected from God?
Do you ever experience the stirrings of spirituality, only to get
stuck as you move onward?
Do you wonder if there is more than one approach to prayer?
That's why we need a Godfile.
The Godfile encompasses our relationship with God. It consists of
times when we are in dialogue with God and our belief is intact,
and times when we sorely feel an absence.
The ten approaches to prayer in this book are based on the writings
of great thinkers, rabbis and personalities of the past 200 years.
Each possesses a different aspect of truth. And each approach possesses
an element of truth that may be helpful at different times.
Several minutes of focus on any one of these ideas will transform
your entire experience of prayer in the synagogue, at home, and
in your heart.

"The central metaphor of the Godfile is both hip and helpful.
This is a book of wisdom which can lead to wisdom. I applaud the
labor and I will enjoy the fruits of it often. Thank you.
