| 5. |  | I Asked For Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology
from The Crossroad Publishing Company
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
This is a composite of the most poetic, sparkling bits of Heschel. It is to be savored, bite by delicious bite. Heschel is so rich I can only read him in small mouthfuls, one at a time. He is a major poet of Judiasm and a sage as well. | 5.0 / 5.0
