The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days: Forty Days of Contemplation and Revelation
"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 Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus, offers new translations from Jesus’s native language in the form of a meditation a day, an oracle, or a guide for a forty-day retreat. 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.
 
In short chapters, the book takes up life themes you’re facing 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. This book 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.
