If you could spend a day with Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski M.D., and ask about every problem that plagues you, your friends, or your family - wouldn't you take that opportunity? It wouldn't matter if your questions were about "small" things that fray your nerves daily or about larger, life-changing struggles. He would listen patiently, carefully consider your situation, and help you build a bridge over your predicament. Even better - how to make your predicament disappear! That day has come! Flip through the table of contents of this amazingly insightful book and find that your question has already been asked - and answered! Ever since Rabbi Twerski began writing his weekly question-and-answer column "Seeking Solutions," he has been flooded with thousands of letters. This book contains new letters and answers that have not been printed before, as well as some of the classic questions and solutions from his column. This book contains nearly 200 letters, reflecting real problems faced by real people. You deserve the peace of mind Dear Rabbi, Dear Doctor can bring. Rabbi Twerski's advice is always down-to-earth, rooted in Torah and drawn from his long experience as a nationally known mental health professional. He believes that every individual and every family is entitled to a happy, healthy outlook. As he says in his introduction, "A Jewish home should be an oasis of stability, decency, and righteousness in a toxic world." This book is an important step in that direction.

In a luxuriously-appointed Hamburg nightclub, a group of conspirators formulate a deadly plan for world domination. But although it will be young, wealthy Dietrich Eberhart who will put the plan in motion, the diabolical plot has its beginnings decades before, on a fog-bound submarine in Nazi Germany, and even earlier, in the humble shtetl home of a saintly rebbe, where the Eberhart dynasty obtained the secret of its power. A network of terror Who can stop it? Though Nazi-hunter Kobi Shapiro suspects the existence of a worldwide conspiracy, his superiors in the Mossad refuse to believe him. Only three unlikely people stand between an unsuspecting world and a relentless force for evil: Jason Leonard Frost, an aging priest searching for his lost past; Mordy Kahane, a young American yeshivah student who found his Jewish heritage on a Little League baseball lot; and Israeli violinist Rafi Ganim, whose life is inexplicably bound up with an unknown rabbi who haunts his dreams. A novel of awesome scope and non-stop action. Acclaimed author Nachman Seltzer brings us a riveting story of revenge, destiny, and faith. Spanning four continents and six decades, The Network takes readers on a heart-stopping adventure. With its cast of beautifully-portrayed characters, unexpected plot twists, and breathtaking climax, The Network is a compelling, engrossing thriller that will be hailed as a contemporary classic.

"And from Eden came four rivers..." These are the four great rebbes, disciples of the Rebbe Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk, who would take over his mantle of leadership and bring Chassidic teachings to the people who thirsted for them. From the gifted pen of Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski come unforgettable portraits of four Chassidic masters: R' Yaakov Yitzchak: Though in his humility he rarely lifted up his eyes, he saw so deeply, with such clarity of vision, that he was known as the Chozeh, the "seer" of Lublin. R' Yisrael Haupstein, the Maggid of Koznitz: So revered was he, that Chassidim called him "the second Ba'al Shem Tov." Rav Avraham Yehoshua Heschel of Apta: A direct ancestor of Rabbi Dr. Twerski, he reached new heights in lovingkindness. At his request, his tombstone bore only his name and the legend "oheiv Yisrael" - one who loved the People of Israel. R' Menachem Mendel of Rumanov: A man of deep spirituality, together with his unusual attendant, Reb Zvi Hirsch, he discovered the essence of humility. In Four Chassidic Masters, Rabbi Dr. Twerski combines his deep, first-hand knowledge of Chassidic lore with insights into our own lives. Here are fascinating biographical sketches of four great men, together with summaries of their teachings and, most stirring of all, the Chassidic stories that have been told of them, passed down through the generations. In his own inimitable fashion, Rabbi Dr. Twerski brings to life these four men, whose influence is felt to this very day.

Rabbi Dr. Twerski shows us practical strategies to keep our marriages, our families, and our own sense of self worth intact, despite today's economic woes. We cannot control a stock market on a rollercoaster ride or a pension plan that's simply vanished, but we can control how we react.

Yes, times are tough, but Rabbi Twerski assures us that the sun will shine again -- and he shows us how to keep ourselves calm and smiling until it does.
