""The Aramaic translations of Klotz cut through the rote and bring us to the deeper meanings of Jesus's teaching that can still touch our hearts, move our souls, and ignite our action.""-Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing

Neil Douglas-Klotz, bestselling author of Prayers of the Cosmos and The Hidden Gospel, brings together forty years of research to update his pioneering work on the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes. Through expansions of Aramaic's multiple meanings as well as guided contemplations, The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days provides a guide to transformation through the way of the prophet. It shows how the deepest teachings of Jesus address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other, as well as the purpose of life itself.

The author shares personal relevance about how the words of Aramaic Jesus's teachings have changed his own life-his sense of love, purpose, and relationships-and more importantly, how they can heal and enliven the daily life of everyone.

In short chapters, the book takes up life themes facing contemporary readers and offers meditations to address them. Each chapter is introduced with a short saying and keyword of Jesus, heard with ""Aramaic ears,"" and then proceeds to show how this applies to a life issue today.

The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days offers a unique perspective on Jesus's teachings that can help you to connect with them on a deeper level and live a more authentic, fulfilling, and compassionate life.
