NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this modern classic from the National Book Award–nominated author of The Chosen, a young religious artist is compulsively driven to render the world he sees and feels, even when it leads him to blasphemy. “A novel of finely articulated tragic power .... Little short of a work of genius.”—The New York Times Book Review Asher Lev is a Ladover Hasid who keeps kosher, prays three times a day and believes in the Ribbono Shel Olom, the Master of the Universe. He grows up in a cloistered Hasidic community in postwar Brooklyn, a world suffused by ritual and revolving around a charismatic Rebbe. He is torn between two identities, the one consecrated to God, the other devoted only to art and his imagination, and in time, his artistic gift threatens to estrange him from that world and the parents he adores. As it follows his struggle, My Name Is Asher Lev becomes a luminous, visionary portrait of the artist, by turns heartbreaking and exultant.

“Extraordinary . . . No one but Chaim Potok could have written this strangely sweet, compelling, and deeply felt novel.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer In his powerful My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok gave the world an unforgettable character and a timeless story that The New York Times Book Review hailed as “little short of a work of genius.” The Chicago Sun-Times declared it “a story that had to be told.” Now, Chaim Potok’s beloved character returns to learn, to teach, to dream, in The Gift of Asher Lev. Twenty years have passed. Asher Lev is a world-renowned artist living with his young family in France. Still, he is unsure of his artistic direction. Success has not brought ease to his heart. Then Asher’s beloved uncle dies suddenly, and Asher and his family rush back to Brooklyn—and into a world that Asher thought he had left behind forever. It is a journey of confrontation and discovery as Asher purges his past in search of new inspiration for his art and begins to understand the true meaning of sacrifice and the painful joy in sharing the most precious gift of all. Praise for The Gift of Asher Lev “A masterwork.”—Newsday “Rivals anything Chaim Potok has ever produced. It is a book written with passion about passion. You’re not likely to read anything better this year.”—The Detroit News “Fascinating.”—The Washington Post Book World “Very moving.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

The Book of Jasher is a secular history covering a period from the creation to the period of the Judges in Israel. Jasher is referenced in the Holy Bible twice by two different authors. Three versions of Jasher are purported copies of the 'Lost Book' and have been translated, but only this one is looked upon as authentic. The Prophet Joseph Smith quoted from this version in "Times and Seasons." The Book of Jasher is authentic, as it contains many specific details which are in agreement with modern revelation such as "The Book of Moses." Presented to you in this volume is the complete Book of Jasher with lessons and commentary.

True stories, especially miracles, are the best kind. They give us a reason to believe in ourselves, in others, in good, and mostly, reason to believe in God. After decades of trauma, loss, abuse, and severe autism, one mom decided to give up on experts and suffering and believe in miracles. So she got one. The prison doors that had trapped her son for over two decades were opened, and through his faith and sight, she was given hers. In the ashes of life they found out that faith in God was capable to do more than they could imagine, more than was possible. Her son showed her how God literally is everywhere, in everything, longing to show Himself to us, longing for us to believe in His presence and power to do good, especially when the world says it is impossible..Content includes events that are traumatic and emotionally triggering for victims of abuse and trauma.
