How to serve God,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Duties of the Heart (2-Volume Set, Pocket-Size Edition) (Hardcover)
This is one of the great Jewish ethical classics. Its aim is to teach how to serve God devotedly in all that we do. Though it was written in the eleven century it has spoken to Jews throughout the generations, and is still today a powerful guide in how we can live meaningful lives by service of God.

A Rare Gem,
By
This review is from: Duties of the Heart (2-Volume Set, Pocket-Size Edition) (Hardcover)
Wow, this is an in depth intelligent look at creation indicating man's divine role in living a pure and righteous life under any circumstances rich, poor, sick or healthy, in good times and times of hardship and suffering. On reading it I think the most critical skeptic will realize the writer R Bachya was a deeply holy soul very in touch with G-d. One can only be impressed by the incredible simplicity and how sensible this work is. It smacks of truth and after reading this classic gem one comes to realize being religious is much more than the actions we do, and it highlights actions done without true motives are hypocritical and distasteful. You can buy this one and keep on reading it the rest of your days - Wonderful a must read for any person interested in finding a true path and appreciation for our existence in this temporary world!!!
