Description

About the Book

A newly designed edition of this collection of Jonathan Sacks' favourite "Thoughts for the Day".

Book Synopsis

A newly designed edition of this collection of Jonathan Sacks' favourite "Thoughts for the Day".

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was a regular voice frequently heard on the UK's most popular morning BBC radio news show. He regularly presented a "Thought for the Day" in which he addressed a current issue with characteristic brevity and clarity. His clear, calm voice brought hope and encouragement to all of us struggling to come to terms with modern, turbulent times.

From Optimism to Hope is a carefully selected collection of his favourite pieces from between 1995 and 2004, ranging in topics as wide-ranging as parenting, forgiveness, staying young and the Turner Prize.

The result is a book that still resonates today, and appeals to everyone, from people with religious beliefs as well as those with little or none.

"The genius of this collection is to be found not least in the diversity of the subjects covered ... These meditations have justifiably earned Sacks an important place in our national consciousness." --The Tablet
