Download or read book Rabbi Schlotz Talks with God written by Michael Thomas and published by Shoestring Book Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, many people have wanted to converse with God, have claimed to have conversed with God, or have claimed God speaks to others through them. Here is another in a long line of prophets and charlatans who have written about just such conversations. In this case, however, the one conversing with God is neither a prophet nor a Con Artist. He is a Rabbi who wishes to understand reality. As expected, God is full of cryptic answers, but he also has a surprisingly sharp sense of humor. Over the course of 100 days, our protagonist, Rabbi Schlotz, asks God all of the most important questions. (He asks a number of inane ones, too.) In the end, we get a clear image of what God is like, jealousy, humor and all. But, not just on a level of classification and status, on a personal level, too. Dip in a toe or plunge right in! A soak in these waters is good for the soul. Shallow or deep pools, there is something for everyone here, even God. ected, God is full of cryptic answers, but he also has a surprisingly sharp sense of humor.

Book excerpt: The lovable curmudgeon with an oxymoronic identity is back with more of his off-beat perspective on reality.

You may agree, you may not, but it is almost certain that his views will help anyone distill their own. Thoughtful, bombastic and always entertaining, the Rabbi has sharpened his feather quill to put a fine point on these "Odds and Ends."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What may look to the untrained eye like a barren landscape, looks to the trained eye like an illustration of wondrous beauty. What we see is less important than the perspective from which we see it. Michael Thomas sees things from way outside the box, and so has a fresh perspective we all can benefit from. It is difficult for an academic to see the ways of the world and it is uncommon for a worldly man to appreciate the realm of the academic. It is a singular gift when one man can walk in both worlds, as a practicing normal human being as well as a student of mankind. Read this book and see for yourself.

But I am proved wrong by this book, a book which not only discusses the basic precepts of accounting, it discuss-es the temptations and mistakes that plague business owners everywhere.
