I came across this book unexpectedly. It's a lovely story about a very special man and rabbi. But it's more out of the ordinary than extraordinary, though it's a story sweetly told and inspirational. I admire Rabbi Besser greatly from what I read, but the book itself is not even close to being great. A quick read and a gently inspiring story do not a five star book make.

This book provides a bit of insight into the story of Rabbi Besser. The author is successful in writing a biography of a great man without fanfare or noise. The story of Rabbi Besser's life is an inspiration to all of us. It demonstrates the power of faith, prayer and a life spent doing good deeds -- without the need for continuous recognition. Rabbi Besser sets an example just by being himself. Perhaps best summed up as doing the right thing. An excellent read.
