This book really changed me and it was perfect timing. This was far deeper than the "Garden of Emuna" which is what I liked about it. It was an easy read and draws the reader in with "The Lost Princess" by Rebbe Nachman which Rav Arush analyzes with complete clarity. Anyone struggling with emuna/faith, resiliency, and bringing yourself back on the right path must read this.

As a ba'al teshuva for 3 years, lately, I have been going through more intense harsh tests. The portions on constantly renewing yourself even if you just fell, teshuva, including getting up right after a fall, how tests are explained, and most esp. that all our successes and failures come from hashem. The whole journey of emuna/faith in this book and how painstaking it is feels very real to me at this moment. BUT it is better to be in the battle than not in the battle at all and live a meaningless life. Thank you to Rav Arush for this book that changes our lives.

I love the art of Story telling, punctuated my discoveries of the morality behind the Story, which also leads us to Hashem, to each their own bread crumbs

It calls upon us not Judge our-selves through the mirror of the Other, but we leave that to G-d, and as we do so, we un-ravel the Mystery of our Existence leading to Purpose, only if Hashem has Mercy upon Us.

From AmaZon.COM web site

Even if a person doesn't succeed in observing what he knows is true, the important thing is that he knows what's true, fights for it, and evaluates himself daily. This is an enormous encouragement for those who pray and work on themselves, yet continue to fall from time to time. Rather than losing heart, they should regard their setback as part of their service to Hashem and their spiritual growth, and not as a failure." From Chapter 4 of The Garden of Yearning With Hashem's loving grace, Yeshivat Chut Shel Chessed and Emuna Outreach are pleased to introduce "The Garden of Yearning" by Rav Shalom Arush translated into English. The book is now available here at the Beams. "The Garden of Yearning" is Rav Shalom's interpretation of Rebbe Nachman's "Tale of the Lost Princess," which is loaded with Rebbe Nachman's powerful allusions that teach us the right road to emuna and to perfecting our souls. In effect, "The Garden of Yearning" is a sequel to "The Garden of Emuna", which is becoming an international hit having sold already more than 100,000 copies in Hebrew, English, and now Russian and French. Rav Shalom says that the most urgent item - in fact, the only item - on our agenda is spreading emuna as far, wide, and as fast as possible. With Hashem's blessing, that's exactly what we're trying to do. This is Rav Shalom Arush's amazing interpretation of Rebbe Nachman's "Tale of the Lost Princess," revealing Rebbe Nachman's allusions to the proper service of Hashem. This book is a high-level sequel to The Garden of Emuna, for those who seriously seek more spirituality in their lives. Translated by Rav Lazer Brody.
