{"product_id":"eighteen-words-to-sustain-a-david-patterson-9781666750935","title":"Eighteen Words to Sustain a Life","description":"In the Jewish tradition, going back to Jacob, many fathers have written down whatever wisdom they might have attained in their lives in order to pass along that wisdom to their heirs. It is called an ethical will. Written as a testimony and a testament, in an epistolary format, this book is a compendium of the wisdom of a father, who has spent a lifetime studying the teachings of the Jewish tradition, as well as literary and philosophical traditions of the West. The insights taken from those traditions, which explore the life of the soul, are intended for anyone who has a soul. The book is organized around eighteen words that form the foundations of human life. The number eighteen is taken from the Hebrew word for \"life,\" chai, which has a numerical value of eighteen. Among the words at the heart of these reflections are faith, goodness, responsibility, meaning, gratitude, prayer, love, and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Patterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 166675093X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666750935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"David Patterson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190980538623,"sku":"9781666750935","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caa88af0-d9f1-4fc2-bba0-cbea84fac87c.jpg?v=1690873376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eighteen-words-to-sustain-a-david-patterson-9781666750935","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
